The Cabinet with Dr. Lindsay M Chervinksy
Join me this week as I interview presidential historian and award winning author, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky.
Dr. Chervinsky wrote The Cabinet: George Washington and The Creation of An American Institution where provides thoughtful analysis and tells the story of how and why Washington created the first presidential advisory council and why it was so revolutionary.
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Chervinsky about her book, why she chose this topic to explore and what students can learn from studying the make up and success of a presidential cabinet.
You can find more about Dr. Chervinsky's work at her website: www.lindsaychervinsky.com
