Wonderful Look at the Institution of the Presidency

Former special assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson, George Reedy, examines the growing isolation of the president from the country's citizens, the air of unreality, and the virtually unchecked power that works to corrupt any man who holds the office of the President.Reedy describes the role of the president and his growing and out-of-touch staff, the importance of images and the media, and looks to the disastrous consequences that can result.Reedly also offers what he sees as possible solutions to the problems of the presidency. This is essential reading on the strengths and weaknesses of our most important political institution.
