David M. Rubenstein The Highest Calling recensie, review en informatie
- “David Rubenstein’s latest book, The Highest Calling: Conversations on the American Presidency, is a masterful journey through the history of those who stood at the center of the world stage to lead mankind’s most powerful nation. His probing interviews with scholars and biographers detail the strengths and frailties of 21 presidents from Washington to Biden who shaped the history of the United States and the consequences of their time in the White House. As someone who served six of those presidents, I highly recommend The Highest Calling for anyone wanting a full-throated understanding about how this critical component of the American experiment in democracy truly works.” (James A. Baker III, 61st U.S. Secretary of State)
