"[T]he author presents a highly readable and informative history of the twentieth century....Leuchtenburg has written a wonderful book."--Daryl A. Carter, The Journal of Southern History "A top-notch historian brings together recondite research with felicitous prose. An excellent choice for students of 20th-century American history."--Kirkus Review "Wow! What an achievement by this 93-year-old historian...At 70, I am in awe of what William Leuchtenburg has accomplished in this doorstopper of a book. He is perhaps today's greatest presidential historian, and not of the presidency as some insular realm, but as it intersected with national life, which makes this book also a history of the nation in the 20th century." -Michael Sherry, American Scholar "Mr. Leuchtenburg's books are known for original research, effective writing and persuasive analysis. For the "capstone" of a lifetime of publishing important works Mr. Leuchtenburg has assembled a compelling study. This is not a book to be devoured at one sitting. But surely Mr. Leuchtenburg has earned the right to deal with the presidents as seems best to him, given his rich research, abundant insights and distinguished career. Mr. Leuchtenburg hits his stride in 20 artful essays that capture what each president did and how their tenure impacted the office. As current presidential candidates woo Iowa caucus-goers, tramp through the snows of New Hampshire, and eventually turn south for Super Tuesday, they each could benefit from reading Mr. Leuchtenburg's informed and wise treatments of men who once held the office they now seek with such ardor." -Lewis Gould, Wall Street Journal "This is a riveting narrative, written by someone with a deep knowledge of the Presidents and our complicated country. It seems an almost effortless work, but, of course, it's not. William Leuchtenburg has spent the better part of a century studying the mechanics of this Republic and the men (so far) charged with leading it. The result here is a fast-paced, dramatic literary achievement that will be around and used for centuries."-Ken Burns, filmmaker "A rare gift, The American President is the unique product of more than seven decades of research and close observation of one of the twentieth century's most important political developments: the growth of the American presidency. This is a magisterial work, the perfect match of subject and author. Few historians today can write with authority on even two or three presidencies; Leuchtenburg alone can expound fluently on the institution across an entire century. This is narrative history at its finest." -Russell L. Riley, Co-chair, Presidential Oral History Program, The Miller Center, University of Virginia "Based on decades of study in countess archival collections and a wide array of published volumes, William Leuchtenburg's The American President brilliantly captures the central role of America's twentieth-century presidents in shaping the nation's domestic and foreign affairs. His book will join a very short list of essential studies of the modern presidency, the men who shaped the office, and American life in the more than the hundred years since Teddy Roosevelt entered the White House. The book is a compelling refutation of the argument that the 'imperial presidency' has become an 'imperiled' institution. It is above all a lucid portrayal of the seventeen men from Teddy Roosevelt to Clinton who occupied the country's highest office and led the country through its many challenges." -Robert Dallek, author of presidential studies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, "This is a riveting narrative, written by someone with a deep knowledge of the Presidents and our complicated country.

Synopsis
The American President is a riveting account of the actions of American presidents in the twentieth century from the assassination of William McKinley in 1901 to Bill Clinton's last night in office in January 2001. William Leuchtenburg, a prize-winning historian who has been a political analyst for major television networks, portrays each of the presidents in a chronicle sparked by anecdote and salted with wit.In this lively narrative, Leuchtenburg highlights countless moments of high drama: Woodrow Wilson sailing home from Paris with the Covenant of the League of Nations that the United States Senate will reject, breaking his heart; FDR hurling defiance at the "economic royalists " who exploited the poor; John F. Kennedy coping with white-knuckle anxiety as Soviet vessels approach an American naval blockade in the Atlantic; Richard Nixon conspiring to suppress evidence of the Watergate break-in; grievously wounded Ronald Reagan quipping with nurses while fighting for his life; Bill Clinton seeking to survive his affair with Monica Lewinsky as his pursuers close in.American President shows the enormous growth of presidential power from its lowly state in the late nineteenth century to the imperial presidency of the twentieth century. That striking change, Leuchtenburg maintains, was manifested both at home-in periods of progressive reform from Theodore Roosevelt's Square Deal, Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal to Harry Truman's Fair Deal, John F. Kennedy's New Frontier, and Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society-and abroad, notably in World Wars I and II, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, and the war on terror.4L American President exposes numerous instances when even the best of presidents practiced deceit, puncturing the inflated reputations of the overrated. But it also demonstrates brilliantly that there were times when the country's leaders were magnificent figures, worthy of the nation's pride., The American President is an enthralling account of American presidential actions from the assassination of William McKinley in 1901 to Bill Clinton's last night in office in January 2001. William Leuchtenburg, one of the great presidential historians of the century, portrays each of the presidents in a chronicle sparkling with anecdote and wit. Leuchtenburg offers a nuanced assessment of their conduct in office, preoccupations, and temperament. His book presents countless moments of high drama: FDR hurling defiance at the "economic royalists" who exploited the poor; ratcheting tension for JFK as Soviet vessels approach an American naval blockade; a grievously wounded Reagan joking with nurses while fighting for his life. This book charts the enormous growth of presidential power from its lowly state in the late nineteenth century to the imperial presidency of the twentieth. That striking change was manifested both at home in periods of progressive reform and abroad, notably in two world wars, Vietnam, and the war on terror. Leuchtenburg sheds light on presidents battling with contradictory forces. Caught between maintaining their reputation and executing their goals, many practiced deceits that shape their image today. But he also reveals how the country's leaders pulled off magnificent achievements worthy of the nation's pride. Now with a preface new to the paperback edition, The American President provides a timely reflection on the office that has shaped and continues to shape the destiny of the United States and its people., The American President is an enthralling account of American presidential actions from the assassination of William McKinley in 1901 to Bill Clinton's last night in office in January 2001.
