The American Presidency: A Very Short Introduction by Charles O. Jones

This is a nice refresher text on the role of the presidency in US politics. As the subtitle “A Very Short Introduction” suggests- this is a rather straight forward work. But, it achieves its goals nicely- it is a clear, concise presentation of the office. It hints at some of the more complex points for further study- but stays on target and avoids tangents. If all of the works in this Oxford University press series are of similar quality- I look forward to catching up on all the crap I show more have forgotten over the years. show less
