His in-depth chronicle of the life of our first President, His Excellency: George Washington, was a New York Times best seller. Ellis’ newest book, American Dialogue: The Founding Fathers and Us, will be released in Fall
2018.
Ellis’ essays and book reviews appear regularly in national publications, such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, The New Republic, and The New Yorker. Ellis’ commentaries have been featured on CBS, CSPAN, CNN, and the PBS’s NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and he has appeared in several PBS documentaries on early America, including “John and Abigail [Adams]” for PBS’s The American Experience and a History Channel documentary on George Washington.
Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books and is well known for her television and documentary appearances on shows such as “Meet the Press.”
Her latest book, published this fall, is Leadership in Turbulent Times, an illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership that provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field.
The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013), winner of the Carnegie Medal, is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unsealed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners has acquired the film and television rights to the book.
Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln’s political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln.
Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries. Well known for her appearances and commentary on television, Goodwin is seen frequently on television and cable networks as well as late night and Sunday morning talk shows, including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Meet the Press. Additionally, she played herself on the Simpsons and American Horror Story.
Goodwin has served as a consultant and has been interviewed extensively for PBS and HISTORY’s documentaries on Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, the Kennedy family, and on Ken Burns’ films Baseball and The Roosevelts: An Intimate History. She most recently served as a consultant on HBO’s film All the Way starring Bryan Cranston as President Johnson.
Goodwin is currently working on a book on Presidential leadership that incorporates her five decades of scholarship studying Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR and LBJ. It was Goodwin’s experience as a 24- year-old White House Fellow, working directly for President Johnson as an assistant in his last year in the White House, and later assisting him in the preparation of his memoirs, that fueled her interest in becoming a presidential historian and author.
Goodwin graduated magna cum laude from Colby College, and was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. She earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Government from Harvard University, where she taught Government, including a course on the American Presidency. Among her many honors and awards, Goodwin was awarded the Charles Frankel Prize, given by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Sarah Josepha Hale Medal, the New England Book Award, and recently the Carl Sandburg Literary Award and the Ohioana Book Award.
Goodwin lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with her husband, the writer, presidential advisor, speechwriter and playwright Richard N. Goodwin. She was the first woman to enter the Boston Red Sox locker room, and is a devoted fan of the World Series-winning team.

His #1 New York Times best seller, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, was hailed as “masterful and intimate” by Fortune magazine.

The New York Times called him “one of the most influential editors in the news magazine business.”
Meacham has appeared on Meet The Press, The Colbert Report, and Ken Burns’ documentary series The Roosevelts: An Intimate History. Fox News produced an hour-long special about Meacham’s Destiny and Power in November 2015.

Noah Feldman, Harvard Law professor, is a highly respected public intellectual known for his ability to frame and explain complex legal issues as well as foreign policy, politics, and religion. Called “one of the stars of his generation” by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, he writes a weekly column for Bloomberg News, specializing in real-time analysis of today’s big legal cases. Esquire named him one of the “75 most influential people of the 21st century.”
The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, Feldman teaches constitutional and international law and is a Senior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. He speaks four languages, including Arabic and Hebrew, and is an expert on Islamic philosophy and law, the separation of church and state, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
One of New York Magazine’s three most influential contemporary idea-drivers, Feldman clerked for Supreme Court Justice David Souter and served as a senior constitutional adviser during the drafting of Iraq’s constitution. He speaks widely on international affairs and what he calls “the intersection of ideas and real world power politics.”
According to Harvard Law’s William Rubenstein, “When Noah Feldman opens his mouth words flutter out like butterflies loosed from a net. The effect is luminous, but the substance concrete.
Few people know as much about as many things, fewer still are able to articulate their knowledge with the style, insight, and passion that Noah – with little apparent effort – commands.”
Publishers Weekly called Feldman’s Scorpions: The Battles and Triumphs of FDR’s Great Justices “a first-rate work of narrative history that succeeds in bringing the intellectual and political battles of the post-Roosevelt Court vividly to life.” His 2013 book, Cool War: The Future of Global Competition, is a thought-provoking look at U.S.-China relations. His other books include Constitutional Law: Eighteenth Edition (co-authored with Kathleen Sullivan), The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State, Divided by God, and After Jihad.
In October 2017, Feldman released his book, The Three Lives of James Madison: Genius, Partisan, President, a sweeping reexamination of the Founding Father who transformed the United States.

The author of critically acclaimed best-sellers, Toobin delved into the historical, political, and personal inner workings of the Supreme Court and its justices in his book The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court.
Toobin’s latest best seller, American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes, and Trial of Patty Hearst, was released to considerable acclaim in August 2016. The book examines the 1974 kidnapping of Patty Hearst, granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, by the Symbionese Liberation Army. The astonishing, theatrical details of the saga are firmly bound to a tangible reality, aided by more than a hundred interviews and thousands of previously secret documents. Toobin allows readers to peek into the past – right into one of the most insane eras of American history. The book has already been optioned for film by Fox 2000.
His other book, The Run of His Life: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, was the basis for the acclaimed mini-series on FX, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Travolta, and Sarah Paulson. Toobin’s next book will focus on the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Toobin lives in New York City with his wife and two children.
