The book should draw respectful attention in a variety of disciplines - history, philosophy, and communications, as well as political science...I could go on and on; there is no end to my appreciation for this work." - Michael Nelson, Vanderbilt University. "This book is full of good writing, sound judgment, and the exactly appropriate rhetoric for an analysis of the rhetorical presidency. Everyone is aware of references to the
