David Rubenstein in Conversation with Maggie Haberman: The Highest Calling

David Rubenstein and Maggie Haberman

Join bestselling author David Rubenstein with Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on the shifting history of the US presidency and the people who lived it — and Rubenstein’s new book, The Highest Calling: Conversations on the American Presidency.

For years, drawing on his own experience in the Carter administration, David Rubenstein conducted enlightening, incisive interviews with leading historians, journalists, and presidents themselves to create a distilled oral record of what is arguably the most powerful political position on the planet. In The Highest Calling, this history is distilled in one fascinating volume — including conversations with Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Ron Chernow, Haberman herself, and more. Ahead of a profoundly consequential US presidential election, hear Rubenstein and Haberman — one of America’s leading reporters on the presidency — on the changing nature of US executive power.

In-person tickets include a complimentary copy of The Highest Calling: Conversations on the American Presidency.
