Book Abstract
In Character: Profiles In Presidential Courage, Wallace showcases American Presidents who have made difficult choices with serious political and personal consequences. In acts of courage, these men made the decisions that were right for the country regardless of public opinion or their own political futures. Judgment and steadiness of purpose is what Wallace sees as the core of character and courage.
Written in a narrative story-telling style, Wallace shares several stories of presidential decisions made during major historical moments changing America and the world forever. He takes readers through the story as the build up unfolds, detailing the victories and defeats, unexpected reactions, pressures and consequences these men faced along the way. Wallace also gives details of the men’s lives prior to reaching the oval office, which lay the foundation for their values while adding another dimension to the complexity of their decisions.
