President Eisenhower sworn in

A Legacy of Leadership: The University of Pennsylvania released McNichol’s work in this 2008 book. The 1950s were a dynamic time with colorful and powerful leaders. President Eisenhower and 161 governors forever changed the nation for the better. Their infrastructural work prepared the United States for the next half century. According to University of Pennsylvania Press, Dan Mcnichol is a “top journalist creating a new framework for understanding...compelling new scholarship...on how interstate cooperation became essential.” A Legacy of Leadership is available now.

You will never look at them the same way again.
