<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A political Field of Dreams. A moderate president is struggling to lead amidst the country's dysfunctional polarization when he suddenly stumbles upon a mystical, vintage, centuries-old saloon where he can drink at a nightly party with every former president, living or dead. He relishes this escape and the camaraderie with his new drinking buddies who understand his problems and sympathize with him. When he realizes that that they all want only the best for both him and the country, unlike what he experiences in Washington each day, he starts to wonder if somehow this saloon can have greater value. Can he tap into the collective wisdom of Washington, Jefferson, the Roosevelts, Kennedy, Reagan and all the others to craft a solution to fix the country's broken and divisive political dynamic?"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A political Field of Dreams.
