内容説明

"Richard Rose has produced an exceptional book, not just about presidents but also about how they connect-or fail to connect-with Washington and the world. His unique comparative approach-blending process with politics and policy-results in an insightful, engaging treatment of the presidency and its place in the broader American system." - I.M. Destler, University of Maryland
