For courses in Leadership and the Presidency in departments of political science.

Arguing that the power in America is concentrated in large institutions-this book studies the people at the top of these institutions-who they are, how much power they wield, and how they came to power. A best-seller in leadership courses and introduction to political science, Tom Dye has chronicled the national leadership since the Nixon-Ford years, each edition featuring the current president and his staff. The seventh edition focuses on the new Bush administration and the contrast it will bring to Washington following 8 years of Clinton dominance. The commentary is supported by years of data analysis involving more than 7000 institutional elites, which includes governmental and corporate leaders.
