This is the crowning achievement of the dean of presidential studies." James MacGregor Burns, author of Leadership"Hargrove does himself proud in a stimulating book that is at once reflective and readable." Richard E. Neustadt, author of Presidential Power and the Moral Presidents "A timely reminder of what political leadership should be and an eloquent analysis of why so many fall short." Stephen Skowronek, author of The Politics Presidents Make "Hargrove provides an account of executive power that deepens our understanding of character and elevates our aspirations for leadership." Jeffrey Tulis, author of The Rhetorical Presidency "In this intellectually engaging book, Hargrove argues that successful presidents are those who combine political skills with intellectual and moral leadership. He examines three distinctively different presidencies Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Ronald Reagan in revealing, exceptionally well written profiles. Strongly recommended."
