Henry J. Roth Ph. D.; Lorraine S. Roth M. D.
Synopsis "All the Presidents' Memories: How They Reconstruct the Past, Manage the Present and Shape the Future (Volume 1)"
All the Presidents’ Memories, Volume I provides a glimpse into the character of eleven American Presidents through the words and images in their most compelling personal memories from their youth. Our understanding of each president deepens as we explore how their memories mirror underlying aspects of their personalities; and how those memories may have impacted their administration. This book investigates how a seemingly isolated moment in time can be transformed into an enduring set of themes whose meanings are embedded in symbolic language and graphic imagery. The selection of the eleven presidents in Volume I includes eight whom historians have typically ranked as the most influential and successful presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition, three other presidents were selected for this first volume who were not typically ranked at the top: Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon; but their earliest memories provided exceptionally dramatic examples of how such memories can vividly reflect and shape character, personality and values; and foreshadow actions they took during their administration. For that reason, I chose not to start the book in proper numerical order beginning with our first president; but to start with Grant, Eisenhower and Nixon.
