Reddit mentions of The Presidents Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity

Honestly, I don't know if he'll speak up much. Presidents usually don't speak out. It's kind of respect for the shield of the office. Has George W Bush said anything critical of Obama? Cheney certainly has.

One of the more fascinating reads I've done recently is how the Presidents serve as unofficial advisers to the current one.

Complete side note, if you're into this kind of stuff, you ought to read The President's Club. It goes into a lot of detail about the relationships each president had with the others. Really interesting read.

Suggested reading. It provides sooooo much more info on the relationships between past and current presidents. It's a pretty interesting read.

> The President doesn't have to save the country he just has to keep the lights on and not do anything dumb.

If you enjoy reading, you should read The Presidents Club.

Currently reading https://www.amazon.com/Presidents-Club-Inside-Exclusive-Fraternity/dp/1439127727 which so far has been a really interesting look at the interactions between post war presidents, including a detailed passage on this meeting.

I recommend this book, read it earlier this year and gives some really interesting insight into the relationships between presidents. A great read!

They totally do! It's actually very interesting. If you want to learn more read this. It's awesome.

To anyone interested in the club, I highly recommend this book.

You should read The Presidents Club by Nancy Gibbs.

It's really an incredible book and I've learned a ton about the personalities of Presidents most don't know much about, like LBJ, Hoover, Truman, Nixon.

I know growing up all I ever knew of Nixon was "I am not a crook"...that book had tons of great insight all the way up to Obama.

Or you could understand the deeper context. But yea, Vietnam was a stellar moment in hour history and we handled it perfectly.

Read a book called "The Presidents Club" it is only about interpersonal relationships between current and or former presidents, and it is an amazing book.

But in that book, you basically read in LBJ and HK words that this deal was proposed by LBJ in the summer and fall prior to the election and Nixon basically worked with Kissinger to "get a better deal', which never really materialized, even after LBII.

TL:DR
This deal was on the table prior to LBII. But you are right, America was 'awesome' in Vietnam.
