This Week's Good Book: "Eyewitness to Power: The Essence of Leadership Nixon to Clinton" - by David Gergen

Few observers are as qualified to comment on the merits of presidential leadership as is Gergen, having served as a speechwriter and adviser to four chief executives. In these finely etched tales of his time with Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton, Gergen not only explains what made these men tick but also draws broader lessons on what makes for presidential greatness. This is not a book to herald the right or the left. It is an objective book written by one of the few people left in Washington with credibility. Whenever I see Gergen on TV, I know that I am going to get an unbiased viewpoint. Tell me where else you can get that! This is an excellent book for anyone interested in history or the current situation in this country.
