The Stanley McChrystal book tickles my fancy, so i GR'd it and found Leaders: Myth and Reality. It's a 480 page book which covers leadership of many, including Walt Disney, Chanel and Robert E. Lee. Intriguing.I also liked the idea of C-SPAN's Senate book. It's not listed on GR but they've apparently created an earlier one on the Supreme Court-- The Supreme Court: A Ispan Book, Featuring the Justices in Their Own Words. Not sure if it's along the same vein, though. I mostly interested in the architectural detail of the buildings themselves.

I'm always glad to add to the TBR of others. :-) As i posted, the topic appeals to me, although the book is one i don't imagine i would read cover to cover, just a few of the chapters/people.

I want to DVR Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Jon Meacham explores the relationship between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
I often see Jon Meacham on TV and find him very informative and thoughtful.
2:45PM ESTH.W. Brands on U.S. Entry into World War II
Historian H.W. Brands recounted the American entry into World War II.
I own but have not yet read his Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt---H.W. Brands
Alias, i can see why the Meacham talk would call to you. I'm going to mention it to Dan because he's nearing the end of Winston S. Churchill's The Gathering Storm. I know i won't read the book but i am pleased to see that someone is noting the connection between sports and politics. I hope to watch some of that.
USA Today had an article about the Christie book. I don't know if it was intentional or not (they made no extraneous comments about it) but it seemed to me the book might well have been subtitled "If Trump Had Listened to Me". Why is it this President seems to have surrounded himself with men who are driven to be the center of attention? What a competitive lot.
madrano wrote: "Alias, i can see why the Meacham talk would call to you. I'm going to mention it to Dan because he's nearing the end of Winston S. Churchill's The Gathering Storm. "I know I've mentioned this before, but if you can see the movie The Gathering Storm staring Albert Finney as Churchill you will not be disappointed. Last I looked it was available on Amazon Prime. The first time I watched it I got the DVD from the library. It's a terrific movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314097/
Thank you! Our library has it and Dan is almost finished with the book. This will be a fitting ending to his reading.
Great. Let me know what he thinks of it.

Poor James Buchanan, always at or near the bottom of the ranking of Presidents. Having read his bio, as well as the two before him (Pierce & Fillmore), also lowly-ranked, i don't think anyone could have prevented the Civil War. Still, Buchanan erred dramatically but i don't know how he could have been worse than Andrew Johnson. Deb's Opinion.
