any major TV network created such a

“Emmy Award” for his role in creating the Discovery Channel
series "Decisions that Shook the World," of which he was the

Critical Moments of the American Presidency (Annex)
Generously Sponsored by The René Friedman Distinguished Lecture Series Endowment
The New York Times Book Review has called Michael Beschloss
“easily the most widely recognized Presidential historian in the
United States.” Albert Hunt of Bloomberg News has called him
“a national treasure.” The Charlotte Observer has said, “Michael
Beschloss knows more about America’s 44 presidents than
perhaps anyone on earth.” Beschloss is currently working on a
major history of American Presidents and wars from 1812 to the
present, which will be published by Crown Publishers in 2017.
In this presentation, he will discuss critical moments in the
American presidency beginning with George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman,
Lyndon B. Johnson and the current president.
His 2007 book, “Presidential Courage,” which covers nine
Presidents from George Washington to Ronald Reagan was a
No. 1 Washington Post bestseller and a three-month New York
Times bestseller. President George W. Bush quoted from
Beschloss’s book in his 2010 memoir “Decision Points,” in
which Bush wrote, “I told Laura, if they’re still assessing George
Washington’s legacy more than two centuries after he left office,
this George W. doesn’t have to worry about today’s headlines.”
Beschloss’s book “The Conquerors” was Amazon’s best-selling
history book of 2002. His book, “Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic
Conversations,” which he co-authored with Caroline Kennedy
in 2011, was No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list and in
many countries around the world.
