Why did George Washington personally lead the militia that put down
the Whiskey Rebellion? What drove Harry Truman to fire Douglas
MacArthur at the height of the Korean War? Did Gerald Ford know
that his pardon of Richard Nixon could very well end his political
career? Why did John F. Kennedy challenge America to reach for the
moon?
This book examines more than a dozen major decisions of the
presidency--Truman dropping the Bomb; Nixon going to China;
Jefferson purchasing the Louisiana Territory--and the stories
behind them. Told in a crisp, narrative writing style, the author
brings the presidency and its big decisions to life with his unique
storytelling and pacing, and highlights the lessons to be learned.
Some of the decisions are well known; others are not. But they're
all told in a way that will keep you turning the pages to learn
more. Each chapter stands as a study in leadership and
decision-making. By the end of the book, you'll be an expert in the
men and the decisions that shaped the country, and the lessons that
can be learned from their leadership and often their courage.
With a concluding chapter that assesses President Obama's first
year in office and reviews his major decisions, this lively,
illuminating book will appeal to history buffs, devotees of
politics, students, and anyone interested in decision-making at the
highest and most influential level.
