Moral Leadership and the American Presidency

More about the book

Highlighting the importance of character and integrity, the book examines presidential leadership through historical examples, contrasting the scandal-plagued administrations of Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon with George W. Bush's presidency during pivotal events like September 11 and the Iraq War. It challenges the notion of separating private and public behavior, illustrating how a president's actions and words profoundly affect their decision-making and the public. This work is essential for those interested in the moral dimensions of the presidency and American political life.
