Hardback. Zustand: Like New. The award-winning author of Second Acts and The Last Republicans draws on interviews and conversations with seven presidents to identify the essential leadership lessons, character, and legacy that has defined each of them and the modern American presidency.Throughout his career as an author, journalist, television commentator, and head of a presidential library and foundation, Mark Updegrove has had the privilege of getting to know seven U.S. Presidents, from Gerald Ford to Barack Obama. In this insightful work of presidential history, Make Your Mark, he offers incisive, compelling sketches of these modern presidents and the character trait that made each suited to his moment in the Oval Office and underlies his most significant accomplishments.Gerald Ford?s instinct to do the right thing in the wake of Watergate;Jimmy Carter?s mission to do good in the areas of peace and human rights during his presidency and throughout his post-presidency;Ronald Reagan?s optimism, restoring the nation?s confidence and pride after a sustained period of demoralizing national setbacks;George H.W. Bush?s humility, helping to ensure a peaceful end to the Cold War that had seethed between the superpowers for over forty years;Bill Clinton?s resilience and determination to keep working for the good of the American people in the face of political and personal obstacles;George W. Bush?s charge to give back as the deadly AIDS epidemic spread unchecked throughout much of the developing world;and Barack Obama?s grace as the first African American to hold the country?s highest office. Make Your Mark reveals that there is no one-size-fits-all model for leadership. We all have our own set of strengths and weaknesses. But by drawing on these presidential examples?a masterclass in character and leadership?we can ask ourselves how our character reflects our leadership, and be inspired to find the very best in who we are to make own unique marks as leaders.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. As the nation's next president stands to inherit crises at home and abroad, this extremely timely history will reveal how his predecessors dealt with challenges that were there from day one. George Washington guided a fragile and fledgling nation; Thomas Jefferson faced a bitter, bipartisan schism; John Tyler brought stability after the first death of a sitting president; Abraham Lincoln faced a 'house divided'; Franklin Roosevelt confronted the Great Depression; Harry Truman inherited World War II; John Kennedy took office at the height of the Cold War; and, Gerald Ford aimed to bring America out of the 'long, national nightmare' of Watergate.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, "There are no second acts in American lives", but more and more, our former presidents are proving him wrong. No longer fading into the background upon leaving the highest office in the land, ex-presidents perform valuable services as elder statesmen and international emissaries - and by pursuing their own agendas. From Eisenhower taking Kennedy to the woodshed (literally) on the Bay of Pigs crisis, to Carter earning the Nobel Peace Prize, to Bush Sr. and Clinton joining forces in an unlikely partnership for tsunami and Hurricane Katrina relief, the author examines the increasingly important roles that former presidents assume in our nation and throughout the world. Through interviews with former presidents, first ladies, family members, friends, and staffers, the author also delves into the very human stories that play out as the modern ex-presidents - from Truman to Clinton - adjust to life after the White House and attempt to shape their historical legacies. In this, the first narrative history of the modern post-presidency, Mark K. Updegrove makes a refreshingly unique contribution to literature on the American presidents.…
