内容説明
The US presidency is the most powerful office in the world, claiming a prerogative to exercise force in foreign affairs that, according to Harry S. Truman, would have made Caesar or Genghis Khan envious. This book offers a historical account of how presidents from George Washington to Bill Clinton have asserted their privilege as commander-in-chief, examining their penchant for using military might unilaterally and their reasons for doing so. It asks why a democracy allows presidents to exercise such immense power vitually as a personal right. Taking in a wide range of sources in diplomatic history and presidential studies, Alexander DeConde shows how this expansion of executive authority began long before the US became a world power. He explains how it has evolved that the US presidents exercise a greater authority and control over foreign affairs and military matters than is granted to most other heads of republican governments. DeConde attributes much of this to "machismo" - the display of virility - on the part of men already attracted to power, concluding that even weak presidents act differently when flexing their military muscle.
He reveals how presidential machismo has thrived as modern media and the American people celebrate executive accomplishments in foreign affairs, elevating those who wage successful wars to the status of heroes.
