Is the presidency a position one must learn on the job, or can one
learn from others' experience? No common thread runs through the
list of forty-five presidents; no playbook provides the answers to
all the challenges a president will face. Yet even in the most
unprecedented situations, history can be instructive. Drawn from
the Miller Center's First Year project--which seeks to provide a
historical framework to guide future presidents and their teams in
the crucial first year of a new administration-- Crucible addresses
core questions of governance facing a new president, from
navigating a broken political system to thriving in a changing
media environment. The project's illustrious
participants--including Stephen Skowronek, Alan Taylor, Gary
Gallagher, Sidney M. Milkis, H. W. Brands, William A. Galston, and
Peter Wehner, among many others--explore both opportunities and
challenges in key policy areas, from national security, race, and
immigration to opportunity, mobility, and fiscal policy. Crucible
consolidates the most salient lessons that can be drawn from both
the best and the worst presidencies in American history, as well as
from the many in between, to provide true insight on the most
important issues facing any new president in the first year of
office.
