The American Presidency 1945-2000: Illusions of Grandeur Hardcover - 2000

by G. H. Bennett; Harry Bennett


From the publisher

This volume explores the radical changes in the historical role of the president since 1945, with an opening chapter looking at the evolving nature of the office from the 18th to the 20th century. The central argument is that after 1945, as the issue of national security became the dominant theme of American politics, the power of the presidency increased enormously. The outbreak of the Cold War and the passing of the National Security Act in 1947, setting up the CIA, gave the president unparalleled powers. Presidents could now exercise power in the name of, but not always with the consent of, the American people.

Description:
(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) the author explores the changes in the historical role of the president since 1945. He argues that after 1945, the outbreak of the Cold War and setting up the CIA gave the president power in the name of, but not always with the consent of, the people. Paranoia is another theme. From Truman's and Kennedy's fear of Communism, through to Johnson's and Nixon's fears of political rivals. The impact of Watergate through Ford and Carter is examined, as is the reassertion of strong presidential leadership under Reagan and Bush (Published: 2000) (Publisher: Sutton Publishing) (ISBN: 9780750922777) (Pagination: 288pp) (Condition: New in d/w) UL-XXXXXX
