<p>I consider this an indispensable text for my course on the
American Presidency. The contributing scholars are experts in their
field and their contributions are accessible to both undergraduate and
graduate students. Best of all, the text provides a timely scholarly
analysis of the current President and places his performance in a
context that allows for analysis and comparison with previous
Presidents.</p>

In the latest volume in this classic series, Rockman, Rudalevige, and Campbell once again bring together top-notch scholars, this time to take a comprehensive look at the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency. Assessing Obama’s political strategy, as well as his administration’s successes and setbacks, chapter authors critically examine a presidency marked by continued partisanship, major policy battles, and continued global turmoil.
