Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin examines the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership through the lives of four U.S. presidents: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Though diverse in background and temperament, these leaders shared a fierce ambition, resilience, and moral purpose that enabled them to surmount uncommon challenges and enlarge the opportunities of others. Goodwin's seminal work offers an essential roadmap for aspiring and established leaders navigating today's polarized world.
