Leadership: In Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin

4.0

Originally received as an ARC in September 2018, I put it aside to read other things and just recently returned to it. Doris Kearns Goodwin's latest work focuses on four presidents-Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson, and their paths to exceptional "leadership in turbulent times," to echo her title. If you've read her previous books about President Lincoln and President Theodore Roosevelt, some material about their early lives and paths to the Presidency may be somewhat repetitive. However, her sharp focus on how each man capably handled various crises once again shows her ability to weave real history into compelling stories.
