We have a crisis of leadership in America today. We are not
electing the very best to public office, nor are the best willing
to serve. As a nation, we have lowered our standards and
expectations of those who run and their performance in office.
Robert E. Denton, Jr.'s exceptional book explores moral
presidential leadership, ultimately calling for a return to a
'heroic presidency.' Briefly surveying presidential character
throughout our history, he gives an overview of the decline in
trust of the government and offers possible reasons for this trend.
Denton argues that personal character and integrity are essential
and critical presidential traits. Focusing mainly on Bill Clinton
and George W. Bush, he compares the scandal-filled terms of Clinton
and Richard Nixon and looks at Bush vis-^-vis the elections,
September 11, and the Iraq war. Denton addresses the myth of
separating private from public behavior and shows how virtually
everything presidents do or say influences their decisions and
impacts citizens. Moral Leadership and the American Presidency is a
must-read for anyone interested in the modern role of the president
or in morality in American public life.
