"Did you know that LBJ was NOT part of JFK's secret circel on dealing with the Cuban Missle crisis. Find out this and why that probably showed the genius of JFK at the time."
"A good book written with the intention of teaching decision makers at the Presidential level use history to help them form their decisions. If you're familiar with the details of the historical events that Neustadt and May focus on, then you will find their perspective on how and why the President and his cabinet made the decisions they made pretty interesting.
Doubtful that anyone in our current administration read this book during 2002 or 2003 (except maybe Colin Powell).
If you like high level American history from the latter half of the 20th century, then check this out. Published in 1986."
