All the Presidents' Memories: How they Reconstruct the Past, Manage the Present and Shape the Future, Volume I (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781329951686)

The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven American Presidents remembered what happened to them in their youth, but also provide a glimpse into their beliefs, attitudes, thoughts and feelings. These childhood memories can foreshadow historical events during a President's administration even though such events are separated by time and place. By examining the early memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for example: Abraham Lincoln's amusing memory of a boyhood caper provided an unusual perspective on his character and his lasting appeal as a great storyteller; how Ulysses S. Grant's memory of a business transaction revealed a hidden vulnerability; and how Dwight David Eisenhower's memory of battling with a barnyard goose influenced his negotiating style as a General and President. These and other Presidential memories provide both telling and entertaining insights into the minds and actions of our American leaders.
