When I return to my Wisconsin lake house every August, I have a summer ritual. I re-read several books that I first picked up out here as a teenager. “The Great Gatsby” and “East of Eden” are on the list. This summer of 2024 is different from any other year, though. I found myself drawn to a book that came out almost 40 years ago by Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomas — “The Wise Men.”
