Intro and Afterword Read by the Author
The inspiration for the multipart HISTORY Channel series Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
“After five decades of magisterial output, Doris Kearns Goodwin leads the league of presidential historians” (USA TODAY). In her “inspiring” (The Christian Science Monitor) Leadership, Doris Kearns Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely—Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)—to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.
Leadership tells the story of how they all collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. Nonetheless, they all emerged fitted to confront the contours and dilemmas of their times. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others. Does the leader make the times or do the times make the leader?
“If ever our nation needed a short course on presidential leadership, it is now” (The Seattle Times). This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today’s polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency. “Goodwin’s volume deserves much praise—it is insightful, readable, compelling: Her book arrives just in time” (The Boston Globe).

Buckle up for a history class that feels like a movie (or...four movies)
"Doris Kearns Goodwin is often described as a national treasure, and rightfully so. I keep thinking I like long historical bios, but it’s probably more true that I enjoy long historical bios written by her. In this exploration of four consequential presidents from drastically different eras in the nation’s past, she weaves together compelling anecdotes that underscore the timelessness and fluidity of the characteristics that constitute leadership. Bonus points for the A-list assortment of narrators who bring each president to life."

Lincoln and FDR each faced an immediate crisis, and both led by promoting hope. LBJ and TR were thrust into action. All possessed a commitment to LISTEN and learn. God willing, we will see their like again.
