Presidential Power and the Modern Presidents: The Politics of Leadership from Roosevelt to Reagan

Richard E. Neustadt presents research and analysis on the judgement of presidential leadership and creates a framework of the modern president.

In an effort to identify what America uses to measure the success of a president and his leadership, Presidential Power and the Modern President approaches the president himself by looking directly at his influence on governmental action.

From Roosevelt to Reagan, Neustadt examines presidential success and suggests a theory of presidential power, testing it against the events in the administrations of postwar presidents.
