The two men worked together closely, and they developed a mutual respect and trust that was essential to their success.

Goodheart's book tells the story of this friendship in great detail. He draws on a wide range of sources, including letters, diaries, and memoirs, to create a vivid and intimate portrait of two of the most important figures in American history.
