Reviews

'This sprawling collection of essays on all aspects of the American presidency ... puts in one place nearly all one would ever need to know. It partakes of the virtues of a competent textbook history of the office, a biographical survey of all who have served, and a statistical abstract.' - Times Literary Supplement
