Leadership in Turbulent Times

Saturday evening, Dec. 1, world-renowned presidential historian and New York Times
best-selling author Goodwin will take the stage to speak on her latest work, “Leadership in
Turbulent Times.” The Pulitzer Prize-winning author’s seventh book, which was published in September to critical acclaim and was an instant New York Times best-seller, is a culmination of her five-decade career studying the American presidents, focusing on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Goodwin worked with Johnson in the White House and later assisted him in the writing of his memoirs.
Well known for her appearances and commentary on television, Goodwin is frequently seen in documentaries, including Ken Burns’ “The History of Baseball” and “The Roosevelts: An
Intimate History;” on news and cable networks; and shows including “Meet the Press” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
Goodwin’s lecture will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Nandua High School
auditorium, 26350 Lankford Hwy. in Onley. Again, tickets are $10 for Historical Society
members and $15 for nonmembers. In addition, VIP tickets are available for $100 each; they include a pre-event reception with Goodwin, a signed copy of the book, and prime seating for the lecture. The VIP reception will run from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Books will be available for sale, and Goodwin will sign for the general public after the lecture.
