Description
In this brief book, George Edwards, one of the foremost experts on the presidency and author of "Why the Electoral College is Bad for America,” explores how the Bush administration has attempted sweeping changes in public policy – without broad support for doing so – by taking its case to the American public more than any other president in history.
