The modern presidency

The Modern Presidency explores the issues surrounding the expanded size, role, and impact of the presidential staff over the last half of this century. Brief and well crafted, the new edition includes the 1996 presidential election, an examination of Clinton's first term in office, and new case studies on the Clinton administration. Pfiffner also traces the growth of the executive office and the concentration of power and prestige in the Oval Office since 1945.
