Conversations with Power: What Great Presidents and Prime Ministers Can Teach Us about Leadership

Fresh out of college, and frustrated with own generation's political apathy, Brian Till set out to interview the former world leaders he most admired. To his surprise, they were eager to talk, and he soon found himself discussing everything from energy to terrorism to nuclear disarmament with the greatest leaders of the last twenty-five years. Here, he distills what they learned in office, their predictions for the future, and their advice for the leaders of tomorrow. Including interviews with:

*Bill Clinton

*Gro Bruntland

*Jimmy Carter

*Fernando Henrique Cardoso

*Ehud Barak

*Vaclav Havel

*Mikhail Gorbachev

*Pervez Musharraf

*F.W. de Klerk
