All the Presidents' Memories: How they Reconstruct the Past, Manage the Present and Shape the Future, Volume I


Book Description

The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven American Presidents remembered what happened to them in their youth, but also provide a glimpse into their beliefs, attitudes, thoughts and feelings. These childhood memories can foreshadow historical events during a President's administration even though such events are separated by time and place. By examining the early memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for example: Abraham Lincoln's amusing memory of a boyhood caper provided an unusual perspective on his character and his lasting appeal as a great storyteller; how Ulysses S. Grant's memory of a business transaction revealed a hidden vulnerability; and how Dwight David Eisenhower's memory of battling with a barnyard goose influenced his negotiating style as a General and President. These and other Presidential memories provide both telling and entertaining insights into the minds and actions of our American leaders.

All the Presidents' Memories


Book Description

The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven American Presidents remembered what happened to them in their youth, but also a kind of psychological shorthand of their beliefs, attitudes, cognitive biases and foibles. A negative memory may have provided guidance in situations the President viewed as dangerous, whereas a positive memory may have provided guidance in situations viewed as promising. By examining the early memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for example: Abraham Lincoln's amusing memory of a boyhood caper provided an unusual perspective on his character and his lasting appeal as a great storyteller;Ulysses S. Grant's memory of a business transaction revealed a hidden vulnerability; Teddy Roosevelt's memory of a fantastic childhood adventure foreshadowed his intellectual curiosity and love of nature; Dwight David Eisenhower's memory of battling with a barnyard goose influenced his negotiating style as a General and President; and Richard Nixon's harrowing memory of a childhood fall taught him to survive in a dangerous and hostile world and presaged the sense of being "kicked around" that would forever define his image. These and other Presidential memories provide both telling and entertaining insights into the minds and actions of our American leaders.




All the Presidents' Memories


Book Description

All the Presidents' Memories, Volume II, provides a glimpse into the character of eight American Presidents who had served served as Generals in the United States military. As in Volume I, through personal memories from their youth, our understanding of each president deepens as we explore how the memories mirror underlying aspects of their personalities; and how those memories may have impacted both their administration and their military principles. By examining the early memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for example: Andrew Johnson's memory of his early life in poverty functioned as a catalyst for him to initiate bold actions to overcome it. One can see how the wish to gain respect from those who had looked down on him in the memory led to his brashness as the Military Governor of Tennessee with the rank of Brigadier General. Rutherford Hayes's memory of familial harmony, conflict and reconciliation, helped to shape his later identity and actions. They offer a preview of how he would later earn the admiration of his soldiers by treating them as if they were extended members of his own family. Benjamin Harrison's memory of the power of prayer called attention to something inside of him that was longing for inner peace, solitary reflection and spiritual guidance. As a General, Harrison applied the lessons of the memory in promoting a religious and prayerful atmosphere in the camps. Using precise details and enduring themes, these and other early presidential memories foreshadow and shape the future political and military mindsets of these Presidents.
