This book is original in that it focuses on the leadership aspects of each president while also comparing their similarities and differences verses just telling each of their stories individually. The key take away is that leadership is something you grow into not born with, ech of these role models grew into their leadership roles through adversity and with intestinal fortitude. The guy who gave 2/5 stars is kinda lazy he obviously hasn't read the book, because it is explicitly explained why she chose LBJ

I am not one who writes book reviews (in fact, this is my first one). I finished the book last night and I am still thinking about it. It is exquisitely written. The lessons in leadership are very interesting, but it was the last chapter that really brought it all together and made me feel that the author has really lived and breathed her research for a good portion of her life. Beautifully done!

She always hit a home run

About a quarter of the way through - 100% recommended. Must read.

Kearns Goodwin continues her leadership insights with this book.
