A Conversation with Doris Kearns Goodwin on Presidential Leadership in Turbulent Times - a podcast by LBJ Foundation

Doris Kearns Goodwin is one of our most respected and celebrated historians. She is the author of seven books, including No Ordinary Time, which won the Pulitzer Prize for history, and Team of Rivals, which was adapted into Steven Speilberg’s film Lincoln.

 

Her latest book, Leadership in Turbulent Times, looks at four Presidents she has studied closely as a biographer: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson, for whom she worked as a White House Fellow before helping him write his memoir after he left the presidency. 

 

This conversation took place on September 26, 2018, at the LBJ Presidential Library.
