pickThis 900-page behemoth was worth every minute. History the way it‘s supposed to be—told with verve and strength. I learned so much about the Presidents, First Ladies, journalists, and the events of the time. It‘s also as relevant to today as you may have heard. Lots of politics and back room, cigar-smoking privilege trying to seize and maintain control.

RamsFan1963 Doris Kearns Goodwin is my favorite history writer, especially when it comes to Presidents. If you liked this, please let me recommend Leadership in Turbulent Times by Goodwin. Its amazing profiles of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and LBJ 4y
