Author Andrew Polsky talked about the wartime decisions of several U.S. Presidents, from Abraham Lincoln to Barack Obama. All U.S. presidents, regardless of their background, serve as commanders-in-chief of the nation’s military.

The New York Military Affairs Symposium in New York City hosted this event. close
