Interview with Charles Ferguson, Presidential Seclusion

Year(s) Discussed: 1935-2025

In my conversation with Charles Ferguson about his new book, Presidential Seclusion: The Power of Camp David, we explore tales from the history of the presidential retreat and the impact of the spirit of Camp David on the world leaders, families, and special guests who visit.
