Eyewitness to Power
The Essence of Leadership Nixon to Clinton
by David Gergen
-
Why read?
Few Americans have observed the ups and downs of presidential leadership more closely over the past thirty years – from Nixon to Clinton and Watergate to Whitewater – than David Gergen. A White House adviser to four presidents, both Republican and Democrat, he offers a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of their struggles to exercise power and draws from them key lessons for leaders of the future. Taking us inside the administrations of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton, Gergen reflects on everything from why Nixon was the best global strategist among recent presidents to how the Bill-and-Hillary seesaw rocked the White House during Clinton’s tenure as president.
