Reviews
Governor George W. Bush Marvin Olasky is one of the most influential new conservative voices in America today. Influenced by his deep faith, his writings show that values and moral convictions are critical to the strength of a free society and a free people. Gary L. Bauer Family Research Council In this time of confusion about the relationship of private morals to public virtue, Marvin Olasky has done us a great service. His book examines our nation's history, from George Washington to Bill Clinton, in order to reveal how the character of our leaders has been, and remains, crucial to America's destiny. U.S. Senator John Ashcroft Public servants are teachers. This truth was impressed upon me by my service as Governor and Senator -- that the teaching example of our leaders is profoundly important. What should our leaders teach? This is the question that Marvin Olasky answers in clear and ringing terms in The American Leadership Tradition. In this important book, Olasky examines the lives of several important Americans and establishes the urgent need for role models who stand for the virtues that we want to pass on to our children, including honesty, responsibility, and accountability.
