Meet Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, a presidential historian, author of the award-winning book, The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution. She'll discuss her newest book, Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic with Hamilton scholar Joanne B. Freeman, Professor of History and American Studies at Yale. Ted Widmer reviewed Chervinksy's book for the NY Times calling it "timely" and praises how she "deftly probes the way the second American president wielded power" and depicts his "term of confidence" when democracy felt fragile. |
