Hardback. Condizione: Good. A bold new history of the American presidency, arguing that the successful presidents of the past created unrealistic expectations for every president since JFK, with enormously problematic implications for American politics In The Impossible Presidency, celebrated historian Jeremi Suri charts the rise and fall of the American presidency, from the limited role envisaged by the Founding Fathers to its current status as the most powerful job in the world. He argues that the presidency is a victim of its own success-the vastness of the job makes it almost impossible to fulfill the expectations placed upon it. As managers of the world's largest economy and military, contemporary presidents must react to a truly globalized world in a twenty-four-hour news cycle. There is little room left for bold vision. Suri traces America's disenchantment with our recent presidents to the inevitable mismatch between presidential promises and the structural limitations of the office. A masterful reassessment of presidential history, this book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand America's fraught political climate.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Why have recent presidents failed to create the change they promised? Should we blame the individual men, all flawed in their own ways? Or are there fundamental reasons why modern presidents fail to deliver, time and time again? In THE IMPOSSIBLE PRESIDENCY, historian Jeremi Suri charts the long rise and quick fall of the world's most important job, from the 1790s to the present day. As he shows, early presidents greatly expanded the power of the office beyond the limited role envisioned by the founders: Washington took charge of the nation's foreign policy, Jackson spoke directly to the common people, Lincoln linked war with democracy, and FDR expanded the federal government to combat economic depression and fascism. Suri argues that the immense accomplishment of these giants left their successors with outsized and unrealistic expectations. John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan lost control of their agendas as they were buffeted by the onrush of events and threats their predecessors never had to face, from nuclear crises to terrorist attacks. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were propelled to the presidency by their personal stories, but hamstrung by purient, partisan, and prejudiced criticisms of their leadership. As managers of the world's largest economy and military, contemporary presidents must react to a truly globalized world and a rapid twenty-four-hour news cycle. There is little room left for bold, strategic thinking. Suri traces our disenchantment with recent presidents to the current mismatch between presidential promises and the limitations of the office. A masterful reassessment of presidential history, THE IMPOSSIBLE PRESIDENCY is essential reading for anyone trying to understand America's fractured and ineffective government. …
