"After serving the highest office of American government, five men--Jimmy Carter, the late George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama--became members ofthe world's most exclusive fraternity. [The author] reveals what life is like after the presidency, and uncovers the complex relationships among these former presidents, and first ladies, in a nation that has been upended by the Oval Office's current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald Trump. With an empathetic yet critical eye--and drawing on an Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump, first-hand testimony from the Carters, and interviews with top aides, friends, and family members of the former presidents--[the author] takes us inside an exclusive world."--Dust jacket flap.
