Derived from a Kirkus review: In these parlous times when the duties and powers of the presidency and various governmental agencies have been exercised in such unprecedented, multifarious ways, it is difficult to remember how things went so awry, the authors remind us of the basic dilemma confronted by nations founded on democratic principles: the need for executive power to be distributed in domestic matters and concentrated in foreign affairs. They trace the ways in which successive presidents -- by shrewdness, chance, or necessity and through the permissiveness of the American political system -- increasingly shifted foreign policy decision-making to the White House, and what the consequences have been for the Chief Executive's power in general. Their analysis is objective and strictly political; both the pros and cons of reform are discussed. While there are no answers, the book is a valuable head-clearer. Second Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
