ریاست‌جمهوری غیرممکن: ظهور و سقوط بالاترین مقام آمریکا

Why Have Recent Presidents Failed To Create The Change They Promised? Should We Blame The Individual Men, All Flawed In Their Own Ways? Or Are There Fundamental Reasons Why Modern Presidents Fail To Deliver, Time And Time Again? In The Impossible Presidency, Historian Jeremi Suri Charts The Long Rise And Quick Fall Of The World's Most Important Job, From The 1790s To The Present Day. As He Shows, Early Presidents Greatly Expanded The Power Of The Office Beyond The Limited Role Envisioned By The Founders. Suri Argues That The Immense Accomplishments Of Washington, Jackson, Lincoln And Fdr Left Their Successors With Outsized And Unrealistic Expectations. John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson And Ronald Reagan Lost Control Of Their Agendas As They Were Buffeted By The Onrush Of Events And Threats Their Predecessors Never Had To Face. Clinton And Obama Were Propelled To The Presidency By Their Personal Stories But Hamstrung By Prurient, Partisan, And Prejudiced Criticisms Of Their Leadership. Contemporary Presidents Must React To A Truly Globalized World And A Rapid Twenty-four-hour News Cycle. There Is Little Room Left For Bold, Strategic Thinking. Suri Traces Our Disenchantment With Recent Presidents To The Current Mismatch Between Presidential Promises And The Limitations Of The Office. Rise.

He argues that the presidency is a victim of its own success-the vastness of the job makes it almost impossible to fulfill the expectations placed upon it. As managers of the world's largest economy and military, contemporary presidents must react to a truly globalized world in a twenty-four-hour news cycle. There is little room left for bold vision.
