Ferocious Engine of Democracy: A History of the American Presidency (2 Vol Set) Slip Cased

In this ambitious and carefully researched two volume set, Riccards undertakes the first major, in-depth study of the American presidency from its creation to the present day. He describes the chief executive's office as a prism refracting American hopes and anxieties and as an institution driving American expansion and empire, dealing with imagery and symbolism from its beginning.
