Author and Historian Thomas J. Craughwell join’s us to talk about the 28 Toughest Presidential Decisions of all time. We explore 2 of these in detail the Whisky Rebellion and America propelled in to World War 1. I really enjoyed talking to Tom and we could have spent a lot more time talking history and events which lead to one another, be sure to listen and find out how after 200 years it’s still all connected.
Tom is a wealth of information and has a number of books out including "Stealing Lincolns Body", which was picked up by the History Channel and made into a special relating the event. Watch the C-Span Book TV episode for that book here (Real Player).
