Book cover: Rahm Emanuel "The Nation City"

In "The Nation City," Rahm Emanuel, former two-term mayor of Chicago and White House Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama, offers a firsthand account of how cities, rather than the federal government, stand at the center of innovation and effective governance.

We interviewed Emanuel about the book for The Book Show - which will air in the future. This conversation is an extra interview and in it we spoke with him about leadership and governance in the face of COVID-19.
