Empire: The story of the last of the Romanovs and the coming of the Bolsheviki. (1928). Legacy Walsh's most enduring legacy is the school he founded, which has become an incubator of leadership in the United States and internationally. Graduates of the School have included U.S. President Bill Clinton, U.S. President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, U.S. President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and the leaders of the U.S. intelligence community (George Tenet), the American labor movement (AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland), and the American Catholic Church (New York Cardinal Archbishop John Joseph O'Connor). Heads of state educated at the School have included King Abdullah of Jordan, King Felipe VI of Spain, and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of the Philippines. The School has also been home to prominent faculty members including the historians Carroll Quigley, and Jules Davids, the political scientist, and World War II hero Jan Karski, and the first woman Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. On May 29, 2012, both Karski (posthumously) and Albright received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from U.S. President Barack Obama. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a letter to Georgetown University when Father Walsh died in 1956, which read in part: After his death in 1956, a new academic building constructed to house the school was named the Edmund A. Walsh Memorial Building in his memory. See also Michel d'Herbigny Evalyn Walsh McLean References Notes Bibliography McNamara, Patrick. A Catholic Cold War: Edmund A.
