New Book on the 25th Amendment Released!

Hi all,

I just wanted to share this amazing new book (written by my sister, Dr. Rebecca Lubot) that goes into the history of presidential succession, nuclear war, and times of incapacity and crisis. In the current political maelstrom we find ourselves in, I believe this book is a crucial deep dive into this important topic. Garrett Graff and other superstars of political history have endorsed her book as a must read!

Please take a look here, I think many of you will be VERY interested in this topic and what she has to say! https://a.co/d/0bj3comU

Drawing on unmined archives and original interviews, Rebecca Lubot tells the story of how US lawmakers grappled with issues over presidential succession and inability and vice-presidential vacancy and ultimately ratified the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. She argues that nuclear anxiety played a crucial role in the development of the amendment and its aftereffects, showing how politics and culture reflected this anxiety, and multiple administrations intensified it. She also offers solutions to the amendment’s gaps. As the threat of accident, miscalculation, or madness looms, never has a book on the intersection of presidential continuity and the nuclear age been more necessary.
