Lloyd Blankfein Book Recommendations (All-Time)
Book 1 - The British Are Coming by Rick Atkinson
Lloyd Blankfein: “My favourite writer of military history"
Book 2 - No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Lloyd Blankfein: "Book recommendation: No Ordinary Time, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. About the 'home front' in WWII. Early in the book a good discussion of Roosevelt’s leadership in mobilizing industry (whose hatred he had welcomed!) as the country transformed into the 'arsenal of democracy.' Relevant."
Book 3 - Destined For War by Graham Allison
Lloyd Blankfein: "Destined for War by Graham Allison informs the moment like Guns of August did for Kennedy in [the] Cuban Missile Crisis. Important lessons.”
Book 4 - Dead Wake by Erik Larson
Lloyd Blankfein: "[Erik Larson is] a writer who makes these narrow events -- gives a lot of texture to them and makes them feel very vivid"
