“The phenomenal rise of a New York City post office clerk to become the behind-the-scenes engine and trusted advisor for three American Presidents - Cortelyou shows us how one man’s skill, integrity and grit can shape a nation - even if history has forgotten his name.”

"A partnership of fire and discipline - Theodore Roosevelt energized the country, George B. Cortelyou organized it."

Set at a time when America was becoming a world power, the series is a reminder that our democracy was built - and can only survive - on the strength of people who put country before ego. In today’s climate of corruption, division, and strongman politics, Cortelyou shows us the kind of leadership we’ve lost and the kind we need to find again.
