Bill Moyers on Presidential Power Reading

Recently, on PBS’s series Bill Moyers Journal, Moyers asked viewers for book suggestions that should be required presidential reading. This unusual request inspired thousands of responses, and you can see the top titles on their website.

It's a brilliant and inspirational idea and we thought we’d pose the same question to our readers.  Which books would you make mandatory for the next U.S. President?  Answer the question by commenting below.
