Robert Dallek: The Making and Unmaking of 20th Century Presidents

Offering the keynote address for this year’s series on the American presidency, presidential scholar Robert Dallek examines why some presidents succeed and others don’t by zeroing in on such determinants as vision, pragmatism, charisma, trust, consensus, and luck.

Dallek, recently retired from Boston University, is author of Lessons from the Lives and Times of Presidents.
