Description

Historian Douglas Brinkley joins CBS News' John Dickerson to discuss how the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic compares to how previous administrations have responded to crises in American history. Brinkley makes the case that White House management and structure affects the ability of the federal government to respond to national emergencies in a significant way. He tells Dickerson the coronavirus pandemic could leave an imprint on American society and culture for years to come. Brinkley is the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University and his latest book is "American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race."
