Profiles in Leadership: Historians on the Elusive Quality of Greatness
by Walter Isaacson
by Walter Isaacson
An interesting collection of essays. The best ones IMHO were the essays by Dallek, Gilmore, Wilentz, and Strouse. They were the ones that most stood out in my mind, either because their subject was someone that I didn't previously know much about or the essay provided a fresh perspective on a figure that I already knew a good deal about. The essay about John McGraw, the baseball manager, though done well seemed out of place in this collection to me. Overall, though, an interesting read.
