EventsShare Doris Kearns Goodwin: Marshall Artists SeriesOctober 26, 2018 Huntington, Cabell Pulitzer Prize winner Doris Kearns Goodwin will discuss her upcoming new book, Leadership in Turbulent Times (releasing Sept. 18, 2018) which is a culmination of five decades of work in presidential history. Combining her signature storytelling with essential lessons from four of our nation’s presidents—Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson—Goodwin explores their journeys to recognize themselves as leaders, demonstrates how they navigated and grew through adversity, and ultimately analyzes how they emerged to confront the challenges of their times. Goodwin’s interest in leadership began more than a half century ago as a teacher at Harvard. Her experiences working for LBJ in the White House and later assisting him on his memoirs led to the book, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She followed up with the Pulitzer Prize winning, No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor and the Home Front in World War II. Steven Spielburg’s Academy Award winning film, Lincoln, was based on Goodwin’s runaway bestseller, Team of Rivals. He also has the film rights for The Bully Pulpit, which chronicles the friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.
