Sinopsis

The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven AmericanPresidents 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.
