Nancy Gibbs talks about her bestselling book The Presidents Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In The Presidents Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity, two top journalists and bestselling authors present a fascinating, news-making account of the personal and political relationships among America's modern presidents as well as a new lens through which to view both American history and the presidency itself. Time magazine editors Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy draw upon newly revealed documents and hundreds of interviews to portray the complex emotions that have bound these men to one another and the unique office in which they have served. Gibbs and Duffy explore how each president came to realize the club's value; how each used the club not only for his own purposes and often the good of the country, but to preserve and strengthen the power of the office; and how the existence of the club has changed the course of history, from Truman to Obama.
