Summary:
"The extraordinary authority of the American
presidency
has no parallel in the democratic
world
. Today, that power rests in the hands of
Donald
J.
Trump
-- and rarely, if ever, has the nature of a president clashed more profoundly with that of the
office
.
Unmaking
the
Presidency
is the definitive account of the unprecedented confrontation between a man and the institution he has come to embody." -- Jacket.
