Synopsis:

This work provides an analysis of presidential transitions from JFK to Bill Clinton. The author argues that, in order to accomplish his policy objectives, a new president must always first gain control of and organise the government.

Review: "The best book on the importance of presidential transitions to the long-term successes of administrations. Contemporary scholars and practitioners will be especially interested in Pfiffner's timely treatment of the problems that surrounded the Clinton administration's troubled start."--Mark J. Rozell, author of The Press and the Carter Presidency and Executive Privilege

"Should be required reading for Presidential candidates, their staffs, and anyone who hopes to understand how it works inside the White House. It's a guide to how to do it and how not to do it."--John Ehrlichman

"A modest classic in the literature on the presidency that is both scholarly and practical-a unique combination."--Joseph A. Pika, author of The Presidential Contest and The Politics of the Presidency
