Leadership: In Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin

4.0

This book took me quite a while to get through, but that is a reflection on my life, not the book. I saw the author speak prior to the publication of the book, and she is an amazing historian, storyteller, and writer in addition to being well-spoken and fair. This is a book worth reading. It is well written and researched, so it can be dense relative to popular books. I enjoyed the third section, "How they led" the best, where the guiding principles of leadership under the four presidents are laid out. If I ever get around to one of those "read a book about each president" challenges, I would consider her other books.
