Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin, 473 pages.
Goodwin explores leadership during periods of crisis by focusing on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson. The audio version gives each President his own reader, with Beau Bridges reading the Lyndon Johnson chapters and Richard Thomas reading one of the others (FDR?). Goodwin has written entire books on each of the men covered here, so there is not much new uncovered, but she does do a great job of telling how each of these men honed their skills and became great leaders. A wonderful book.
