Orman's Comparing Presidential Power is an important and insightful
study of the American Presidency. The macho model of presidential
leadership is developed well and supported by both primary and
secondary research. In fact, a brief overview of the book cannot do
justice to the detailed analysis and support provided in the work.
The text is well documented and every assumption is illustrated by
several specific examples. The humanistic study is written from an
audience perspective providing a socio-psychological orientation of
how the public interprets the office. Thus, the lasting value of
the book is not so much in the comparison of the Carter and Reagan
presidencies or the defense of the Carter administration but in the
provision of a complete model or theory of the contemporary
institutional presidency. The book is a valuable contribution to
the literature and thus a must for scholars and students of the
American presidency. Presidential Studies Quarterly The president
of the United States may be considered the quintessential symbol of
the country, and, as such, a reflection of society's dominent
values. His actions and decisions are influenced by a number of
factors, including the prevailing environment, bureaucratic
policies, and the incumbent's personality. Over and above the
abilities and opportunities of the person who holds the office,
John Orman argues that success of a president's policy endeavors is
ultimately dependent in luck and good timing. His hypothesis is
that a president's success depends on the ability to align actions
with a society that places a premium on machismo. Using this
theory, he analyzes the presidencies of Jimmy Carter and Ronald
Reagan.
