Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Gil Troy in his book "Leading from the Center: why Moderates Make the Best Presidents". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Gil Troy's book.<br>Troy argues points out that the greatest presidents of American history have succeeded because of their moderation; they have always sought a golden middle ground. Hence he illustrates with examples of the past the lines on how to select future presidents. <br>
