Every four years Americans embark on the ultimate carnival, the
Super Bowl of democracy: a presidential election campaign filled
with endless speeches, debates, handshakes, and passion. But what
about the candidates themselves? In Fit for the Presidency? Seymour
Morris Jr. applies an executive recruiter's approach to fifteen
presidential prospects from 1789 to 1980, analyzing their resumes
and references to determine their fitness for the job. Were they
qualified? How real were their actual accomplishments? Could they
be trusted, or were their campaign promises unrealistic? The result
is a fresh and original look at a host of contenders from George
Washington to William McAdoo, from DeWitt Clinton to Ronald Reagan.
Gone is the fluff of presidential campaigns, replaced by broad
perspective and new insights on candidates seeking the nation's
highest office.
