Updegrove has, in the words of the New York Journal, “an flare for exquisite storytelling.” From exploring the consequential presidencies of JFK and LBJ in “Incomparable Grace” and “Indomitable Will” respectively, and the largely misunderstood relationship between Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush in "The Last Republicans" to examining the increasingly important roles of our former presidents in “Second Acts,” Updegrove brings leadership and the presidency to life.
