“Political junkies, historians, psychologists and main street citizens will find the tales of friendship, envy, conspiracy, competition and common cause irresistible.” – Tom Brokaw

The Presidents Club demonstrates how the Club has changed the course of history. Headlines include: After President Kennedy was shot, President Eisenhower came to the White House and wrote in longhand what President Johnson should say to a joint session of Congress; secret pointers that President Reagan gave President Clinton, including how to salute properly; President Nixon and President Johnson blackmailed one another; President Truman rescued President Hoover from the political graveyard and in the process, helped save Europe from starvation; and more.
