What makes a great president? Certainly leadership,
accomplishments, crisis management, political skill, character, and
integrity are part of the equation, but the great presidents have
something more. They not only govern well, but are part of
something lasting; their presidencies influence the thoughts and
beliefs of generations. These powerful men are not flawless
leaders, they have made mistakes and miscalculations, but in the
end their decisions have changed the nation and often the world. In
Destiny's Consul: America's Greatest Presidents, presidential
scholar Michael P. Riccards provides a concise introduction to the
lives, presidencies, and personal qualities of ten great
individuals whom Riccards argues are our greatest presidents.
Organized chronologically, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt,
Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Ronald
Reagan are shown to truly be great. It will be of interest to
anyone interested in the presidency of American history.
