About this book
This book examines the presidency in twentieth century America and explores why some presidents succeed as makers of U.S. foreign policy while others fail, sometimes tragically. It explores each president'sability to apply his skills to a foreign policy issue in the face of opposition that may come from a variety of sources, including the Congress, the Pentagon, the State Department, the press, and often their own in-house advisers. This volume in particular focuses onTheodoreRoosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, HerbertHoover, Franklin D Roosevelt, and Harry Truman.
