Timely and interesting analysis

Given the recent rash of attention devoted to the office of the President and the general poor quality of writing associated with this phenomenon, it is refreshing to finally find a book that is insightful and is carefully researched. Anyone who truly loves reading and studing the executive branch and especially the implications for power in a post-cold war setting will appreciate this book. It is without hesitation that I recommend this book to all those with even a passing interest in the subject.Two thumbs up!!
