Drawing from his past research on Franklin Roosevelt and his current work on Ronald Reagan, Brands examines what makes a president great - that is, what allows a president to reshape the course of American life. Roosevelt and Reagan espoused decidedly different policies, but their leadership styles reveal some striking similarities.
