Steven F. Hayward

Steven F. Hayward analiza cuatro rasgos comunes en ambos estadistas, ingredientes imprescindibles en cualquier buen político: imaginación, visión, resolución e independencia de carácter y pensamiento. Y desvela después otros cuatro rasgos que ambos compartieron como gigantes de la política: los dos lucharon contra el comunismo, y uno inició y otro concluyó la Guerra Fría. Los dos tomaron las riendas de sus países en momentos de grave crisis política y de confianza nacional. Los dos afrontaron su vida y su mandato con toneladas de voluntad y con un sentido del humor legendario. Y ambos fueron vilipendiados antes, durante y después... Pero su grandeza ha podido más, y hoy nos queda su ejemplo.
