Nice to hear a bit more about Carter. Obama, it appeared, is simply too new to have made much history post-White House. Clinton? I can only suppose he has done little outside of Bush 41's shadow. I can't help but suppose that Brower doesn't care for him. (  ) kaulsu | Sep 10, 2020 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Residence and First Womenâ??also a New York Times bestsellerâ??comes a poignant, news-making look at the lives of the five former presidents in the wake of their White House years, including the surprising friendships they have formed through shared perspective and empathy. After serving the highest office of American government, five menâ??Jimmy Carter, the late George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obamaâ??became members of the world's most exclusive fraternity. In Team of Five, Kate Andersen Brower goes beyond the White House to uncover what, exactly, comes after the presidency, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships of these five former presidents, and how each of these men views his place in a nation that has been upended by the Oval Office's current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald Trump. With an empathetic yet critical eye and firsthand testimony from the Carters, Donald Trump, and the top aides, friends, and family members of the five former presidents, Team of Five takes us inside the exclusive world of these powerful men and their families, including the unlikely friendship between George W. Bush and Michelle Obama, the last private visits Bill Clinton and Barack Obama shared with George H. W. Bush, and the Obamas' flight to Palm Springs after Donald Trump's inauguration. This insightful, illuminating book overflows with anecdotes about how the ex-presidents are working to combat President Trump's attempts to undo the achievements and hard work accomplished during their own terms. Perhaps most poignantly, Team of Five sheds light on the inherent loneliness and inevitable feelings of powerlessness and frustration that come with no longer being the most important person in the world, but a leader with only symbolic power. There are ways, though, that these men, and their wives, have become powerful political and cultural forces in American life, even as so-called "formers.

In TEAM OF FIVE, Kate Andersen Brower describes what comes after the presidency, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships of these five former presidents, and how each of these men views his place in a nation that has been upended by the Oval Office’s then current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald Trump.
Brower researched and interviewed these ex-Presidents, and spoke to the spouces, children, and White House staff among others. Surprises described include the unlikely friendship between George W. Bush and Michelle Obama, as well as the description of the last private visits Bill Clinton and Barack Obama shared with George H.W. Bush.
Brower noted the everybody seemed to love George H.W. Bush, and the living ex-presidents spoke very highly of him. They also developed a friendship for the second Bush President (George W. Bush). She talks about Clinton and his foibles, and describes how Carter was a little harder to get along with than the others. She also notes that Obama's legacy is still to be defined, and expects that Trump, the least Presidential of all, is likely to leave a legacy quite different from the others in the Team of Five. All in all, her insights into the Presidents and First Families maked for some very interesting reading.
