{"product_id":"decisions-of-consequence-forrest-tower-9781966136125","title":"Decisions of Consequence: How U.S. Presidents Steered the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne decision. One president. A defining moment that changed history. This compact yet powerful collection distills the single most consequential decision of every U.S. president--revealing the pressures, risks, and ripple effects that shaped a nation and the world. Decisions of Consequence, part of the American History in a Nutshell series, offers a compelling, easy-to-understand tour through the most pivotal decisions made by each U.S. president--from George Washington's refusal to seize monarchical power to Joe Biden's similar decision to not seek reelection. Each chapter zeroes in on one defining choice, exploring the historical context, political pressures, and lasting consequences of that moment. Whether it's Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to enter World War II, or Richard Nixon's decision to resign in the aftermath of Watergate, this book reveals how leadership is often defined not by many actions, but by a single, bold move. Richly informative yet accessible, Decisions of Consequence connects the dots between presidential judgment and the ever-evolving story of America. Perfect for history lovers, civics students, and anyone curious about how one person's choice can shift the course of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Forrest Tower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1966136129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781966136125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Measure Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Forrest Tower","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997688705279,"sku":"9781966136125","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decisions-of-consequence-forrest-tower-9781966136125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
