Opis

One of the tests to which we subject our presidents concerns their capacity to lead, their ability to achieve their political and policy goals. This is the test of whether presidents make a difference to their institution, their government, and their country. Prof Steven A. Shull applies this test to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
