Rezensionen
Praise for the Fourth Edition

"A vivid examination of the historical development of the American presidency. This new edition gives students the foundation to answer in detailed and nuanced ways whether former President Trump was the culmination of the modern presidency or a clear break. Highly recommended for college courses on the presidency."

Terri Bimes, University of California, Berkeley

"A sweeping treatment of the American presidency by one of the country's top presidential scholars. Based on over three decades of research and analysis, it uses descriptions, data, and anecdotes to demystify the American presidents. Ellis explains how the presidency and the executive branch have evolved over time in all aspects of the job: elections, rhetoric, influencing legislation, party relations, war-making, and the wielding of executive power itself. His writing style is not only insightful, but highly entertaining. Excellent for students at all levels, as well as general interest readers."

Mark Zachary Taylor, Georgia Institute of Technology

"The Development of the American Presidency is a terrific text for teaching. The book's organization, blending historical and thematic approaches, makes for lively, readable chapters. The introductory puzzle with which each chapter begins effectively raises fundamental questions for classroom discussion. And Ellis' own intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and appreciation for history, important to every student's development, come through on every page."

Michael G. Hagen, Temple University
