A brilliant storyteller, Doris Kearns Goodwin makes sense of today by painting extraordinary word pictures that illustrate lessons from our past. One of the most recognized historians of the day, Doris Kearns Goodwin provides trenchant, informed and enthralling commentary on the issues of today by demonstrating how history has answered similar questions. With a deft wit and an uncanny ability to weave stories that put you "right in the room" as history occurs, Goodwin offers extraordinary insight into the lives of the leaders who have shaped the Unites States. She won the Pulitzer Prize for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Her monumental biography on Abraham Lincoln – Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln is being made into a movie by Steven Spielberg.
