AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Dallek, a distinguished historian from UCLA, does not allow our retrospective national fondness or distaste for a chief executive to substitute for a shrewd analysis of his actions. Instead he offers a quintet of public 'qualities' that every effective president has had: a clear vision, a talent for pragmatic politics, a keen sense of national consensus, 'a personal connection' with the governed, and the trust of the people. This is a commonsensical model, and Dallek fills it out with well-chosen, occasionally witty details.Dallek, Robert is the author of 'Hail to the Chief The Making and Unmaking of American Presidents', published 2001 under ISBN 9780195145823 and ISBN 0195145828.
