"In this well-written, well-researched book, Doherty marshals considerable evidence to demonstrate that modern presidents are constantly in campaign mode, and that the pressure to operate as such has intensified over the last four decades. . . . Students of the presidency should take note of this book."Choice
". . . {N]o scholar to date has delved into the detail of what the permanent campaign means for U.S. presidents to the degree that Doherty has done here. . . . Any scholar looking for hard evidence to support what is a widespread suspicion will welcome Dohertys contribution."Library Journal
"The book covers in nitty-gritty detail the particulars of how presidents raise money, how the White House has been used as a political organ (both officially and unofficially), and how the marriage of policy and politics in the Oval Office affects our democracy. The book contains its fair share of unexpected observations. . . . [It] also lends some important historical context to our current understanding of money and politics."The Daily Beast
Doherty has taken on an important and much-discussed subject and executed his analysis with exemplary care and skill. . . . An extremely well-polished, well-crafted book.Michael Nelson, editor of The Presidency and the Political System
Concise, accessible, and well written, the book is very attractive for use in the classroom. Its also a first-rate piece of scholarship that will be widely cited and relied upon by future scholars.Richard J. Ellis, author of The Development of the American Presidency
A rewarding and valuable systematic view of how this central feature of our politics influences what presidents do and how they do it.George C. Edwards III, author of Governing by Campaigning
