A few of the occupants of the highest office in the land have changed the nature and reach of the presidency and therefore the country itself. We have asked two preeminent presidential historians, DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN and MAX BOOT, to reflect upon the impact of transformative presidents and what combination of drive, vision, and charisma informed their White House tenures. Boot is the author of the much-lauded recent biography of President Ronald Reagan, and Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and has written books on Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson. In conversation with award-winning journalist EVAN OSNOS, the author of a recent presidential biography on Joe Biden, they will offer wise, deeply-informed analyses of our transformative presidents and their lasting legacies.
