The Presidential Difference: Leadership Style from FDR to George W. Bush - Second Edition

An excellent book. I support it wholeheartedly.--Dick Cheney, May 3, 2000 A wonderful book. . . . For journalists, it is a great checklist as to what we ought to be--but probably are not likely to be--looking for in a presidential candidate.--David Broder Among the many excellent books on the American presidency, GreensteinsThe Presidential Differencewill occupy a unique position. Greenstein not only provides succinct descriptions of the person and presidency of every incumbent in the office from FDR to Clinton, but he also presents the reader with highly informed, judicious, shrewd, and entirely nonpartisan judgments about the qualities that have made for success and failure in that demanding office. His descriptions and evaluations make it a book that can be read with profit by everyone who cares about American political life, and, as appears to be the authors intent, particularly by future incoming presidents.--Robert A. Dahl, author ofOn Democracy
