Features: The term "Presidential Politics" refers to "politics created by presidents." This book starts with numerous case studies, focusing on the leadership skills, political strategies, and the important perspective of "presidents as drivers of political change" from John Adams to Bill Clinton. The author explores the sources of presidential motivation based on each president's personality, knowledge structure, and family background. Using many major events in American history, the book demonstrates that the survival and development of the United States, social reforms, cultural transformations, economic prosperity, and its global status are all closely tied to the presidency. On the other hand, the book also discusses some of the presidents' scandals and poor political skills.
