My 40-Year Adventure with the Presidency

Written by Anonymous on December 4th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 4/5

Very interesting lecture on the author's view of, and interaction with, a number of Presidents. The lecture itself is only approx. 50 minutes so the topic is covered at a very high level. Yet, it provides insight and personal views of 4 Presidents and general observations on several others, all of which I found informative and interesting.

The author/narrator of this lecture wasn't anything special, and that's all that detracted from what was an otherwise interesting, unbiased, look into the workings of presidencies from Eisenhower right through to George Bush jr. Informative.
