The Next Great President by Thomas, Edward meilleur NEUF

An analysis of the rankings of U. S. Presidents over the past 70 years shows remarkable consistency in the ratings of the best ones. Three presidents stand out above the rest in consistently being ranked in the top three as our greatest presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt. This book reviews their history, presidential leadership, and legacy, and provides an analysis of their common personality traits and parallels in the challenges each faced as President.

Another analysis of history shows a consistent 80-year cycle of crisis, in which the leader of our country was tested in a crucible of fire and showed his true mettle. What form will the next crisis take? Will it be a global pandemic? Will it be a nuclear terrorist attack? Will it be a world war? Or will it be some cataclysmic climatic event? Multiple hot spots around the globe are sparking like flash points in a California wildfire. A single flash point could end up being the start of an escalating chain of events leading to worldwide conflict.

Does the crisis make the man, or does the man prove himself through his handling of the crisis? The greatness of our first three great presidents coincides with three great events in our history - the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Second World War. Each of these crucial events occurred approximately 80 years apart, and the last great event occurred about 80 years ago. With an eye to this 80-year cycle of secular crisis in United States history, this book predicts that The Next Great President will be elected in 2020, 2024, or 2028.
