- Summary:
-
"Fred I. Greenstein provides an instructive account of the qualities that have served well and poorly in the Oval Office, beginning with Frankling D. Roosevelt's first hundred days. Newly expanded, this second edition now covers the momentous events of George W. Bush's administration - from his handling of the events of September 11 to the war with Iraq. He surveys each president's record in public communication, organizational capacity, political skill, vision, cognitive style, and emotional intelligence - and argues that the last is the most important in predicting presidential success."--BOOK JACKET.
