Since World War II, American vice presidents have played an ever-increasing role in the nation's foreign policy. This study of the foreign-policy activities of five key vice presidents-Richard Nixon, Walter Mondale, George Bush, Dan Quayle, and Al Gore-provides the first comprehensive analysis of the role of the vice president in foreign-policy affairs. In order to bring readers to a better understanding of this role, Paul Kengor asks incisive questions: Did the vice presidents' involvement in foreign policy actually benefit the administration? If so, what useful lessons can be drawn from their experiences? Is there good reason to approve or reject an enhanced role in foreign policy for future vice presidents? How, specifically, might the vice president be used in conducting the nation's international affairs? The answers to these questions are crucial reading for scholars of the presidency and foreign policy, for policy makers, and for all of us assessing vice presidents past and future.

Anyone who thinks the vice presidency is irrelevant needs to read this important book. -- Brian Ripley, Mercyhurst College This is not only good policy, but good history as well. Kengor illuminates fascinating events about each vice president, many of which heretofore remained untold. -- Don Goldstein, University of Pittsburgh Future White House chiefs of staff should consult this book. -- Michael Paul Palaschak, Center for Strategic and International Studies Presi It is in the nature of things that a vice president's contributions to policy will be subtle and obscure, and that "credit" will be deflected rather than documented. Dr. Kengor's insights about the modern vice presidency's growing importance is all the more impressive for that reason. It is a product of aggressive, old-fashioned research-more interviews than search engines, more telephones than data links, and more shoe leather than email. No one will fully understand the American policy process any longer without a grasp of the vice president's expanding role... This text breaks new ground in our search for that understanding. -- R. Joseph De Sutter, Former Assistant National Security Advisor to the Vice President
