Michael Duffy (1) (1958–)

I'm not sure what it says about me (or about this book) that my favourite part was hearing how LBJ was so into proving his manhood, literally, that he invited White House visitors, including preachers, to go skinny dipping. And he held meetings in the bathroom.

Amazing story. The authors were somehow able to foster respect for Billy Graham by displaying his brokenness. Authors also seem to grasp the issues so many people in the Christian community have with Graham, and answer the charges, not with didactic prose, but through engaging and relevant stories.

Superb and unusual. I had no idea how much the "club" works with the current President (and sometimes against!). Fascinating piece of American history and current practice!

A very interesting look at the backstage of the presidency. Each section focuses on a pair of men and their relationship. There are some gaps (mainly concerning Carter), but overall an excellent read.
