Everything you wanted to know about the presidency...,
By Newsman78 "newsman78" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Presidency: Origins and Development, 1776-2002 (American Presidency) (American Presidency (CQ)) (Paperback)
...but were afraid to ask. Comprehensive, readable, well-organized. A must-have for every serious scholar of the presidency, certainly. I think it will also prove very useful to the intended audience as a textbook for courses on the American presidency, especially those looking at it from a historical angle. Well-written and a page turner, which is a rarity in political science.
