Power Players: Sports, Politics, and the American Presidency
威尼斯人娱乐场 Museum
Online
Author Chris Cillizza presents a colorful look at how modern Presidents play sports and have used sports to play politics as well as what our fan-in-chief can often tell us about our national pastimes. While every modern President has used sports to relate to Joe Q. Public, Power Players turns the lens around to examine how sports have shaped our Presidents and made for some amazing moments in White House history. In the pages of the book, a love of sports shines through as the key to understanding who these Presidents really were and how they chose to play by the rules, and occasionally bluff or cheat, all the while coaching the country into a few quality wins and some notorious losses. Joining the author in conversation will be author and journalist Kate Andersen Browe.
