Michael Beschloss, "Presidents of War"
Michael Beschloss discusses his book, "Presidents of War", at Politics and Prose event at George Washington University on 10/11/18.
Looking at eight wartimes in American history from 1812 to Vietnam, Beschloss, the NBC News Presidential Historian, gives an illuminating and even-handed profile of presidents as commanders in chief. Beschloss investigates the controversial aspects of Lincoln’s military leadership, explores the contradictions in Wilson’s approach to World War I, and considers Johnson’s options regarding Vietnam. Writing with his signature narrative flair, Beschloss assesses each chief executive’s preparation, communication, goal-setting, and decision-making and charts his complicated relationships with congress and the public.
