This book, much needed in our public discourse, examines some of
the most significant political leaders in American history. With an
eye on the elusive qualities of political greatness, this anthology
considers the principles and practices of diverse political leaders
who influenced the founding and development of the American
experiment in self-government. Providing both breadth and depth,
this work is a virtual "who's who" from the founding to modern
times. From George Washington to Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton to FDR and Ronald Reagan, the book's twenty-six
chapters are thematically organized to include a brief biography of
each subject, his or her historical context, and the core
principles and policies that led to political success or failure. A
final chapter considers the rhetorical legacy of Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Nearly all readers
agree that statesmanship makes a crucial difference in the life of
a nation and its example is sorely needed in America today. These
concise portraits will appeal to experts as well as history buffs.
The volume is ideal for leadership and political science classroom
use in conjunction with primary sources. Contributors: Kenneth L.
