"Grant asked himself whether the price of leadership was worth the pain" is a central question explored.
"The capacity for fear to limit our leadership potential is immense" is a idea explored
There are references to Walt Whitman's poem "America" and how it connects to Langston Hughes poem "I, Too," which contains the proclamation and protest line, "I Too, am America."
There is a reference to legendary Coach Vince Lombardi and his timeless observation that "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." There is a great biography of Coach Lombardi called "When Pride Still Mattered."
