Success in any field requires a certain amount of ambition. To become president of the United States however, requires more than just a passion for the job. In Presidential Ambition, Richard Shenkman explores the ways in which our leaders have been willing to sacrifice their health, family, loyalty, and values in pursuit of the nation’s highest office.
From hiding illnesses from the public to provoking war, Shenkman demonstrates the ways in which our presidents have been willing to mislead the public in order to gain and keep power. Presidential Ambition is a book that will permanently alter the way we think about past, present, and future American presidents. Richard Shenkman is the New York Times best-selling author of five history books, including Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History and I Love Paul Revere. Educated at Vassar and Harvard, he is an Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and the former managing editor of the news department at the CBS-TV affiliate in Seattle. He has been the host, writer, and producer of a prime-time series on the Learning Channel and a regular contributor to the NBC Sunday Today show. “A brilliant and entertaining look at what makes American presidents tick.” — New York Times
