Johnson Presidential Library, the George W. Bush Presidential Library, the Great Washington Writers Series, and the SMU Center for Presidential History. After conducting 31 “cross-examination”-style public interviews of presidential historians and White House insiders, attorney Talmage Boston believes he has identified 10 key traits of successful presidents. Boston shares those traits in the book Cross-Examining History. Talmage Boston seeks to find out what it was that made our major presidents tick and what caused their historic lives to play out as they did. In Cross-Examining History, Boston interviews presidential insiders including Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists, Emmy Award winners, New York Times best-selling and "Notable Book" authors, scholars of the highest order, and a few newcomers well on their way to gaining national public recognition, all in hopes to provide insights about America's past that can help us better understand our present situation and provide a more informed expectation about our future. The book is a who's who of literary and political luminaries, including David McCullough, Jon Meacham and Henry Kissinger. The results expand our awareness far beyond book learning and increase our knowledge of the most important aspects in our presidents' lives. Douglas Brinkley addresses Theodore Roosevelt. Condition: Very good / Very good.
