A presidential historian and executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library, Lindsay M. Chervinsky is also the author of multiple scholarly articles and books, including The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution and, most recently, Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic. Heather Cox Richardson calls the new book a “clear and fast-paced political history [that] recaptures the uncertainties of the early American republic as men of principle and men without it jockeyed for power in the first years after George Washington retired.”

Chervinsky discussed Making the Presidency with author/attorney Talmage Boston last week. Listen to the podcast here.
