This fully updated seventh edition includes analysis of the accelerated 2008 nomination process, further scrutiny of the wars on terror and in Iraq, a close look at Bush s judicial appointments, and a measured assessment of the president s impact on such pressing issues as education, global warming, and illegal immigration.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good overview of the changing face of the Am. Presidency,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Politics of the Presidency (Paperback)
I have this book as a text for a political science class I'm taking at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Though a bit pricey at $40, I truly find this a solid read. It should be appropriate for all levels of reader, though it seems to be geared towards those with at least basic knowledge of the American political system.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Politics of the Presidency (Paperback)
I bought this book for class. It turned out to be really informative a/b the passed presidents. May probably be moot now that we have a new president, but it's nice to know what the previous presidents did
