The thirteenth edition of Presidential Elections continues to be an accessible, comprehensive 'must read' on the U.S. presidency. It is factually packed and provides a stimulating assessment of the American democratic system.--Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier, Vernal Riffe Professor of Political Science, Ohio State University

Presidential Elections is the finest book of its type on the market. It is a wonderful teaching tool that presents accurate and up-to-date information on the election process. Highly recommended.--Martin J. Medhurst, Distinguished Professor, Baylor University
