Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, Rutherford, 1988. Clothbound Hardcover. Book Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket
Condition: Very Good. Later Printing. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Asserts that the transition from the passive concept of the
presidency common to the 19th century to the dynamic executive leadership that followed was shaped and directed by three men
of the mind -- Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. This volume examines the intellectual background,
the learning, and the thinking that describe the first three 20th century presidents. It shows that the pursuit of knowledge
was integral to the personality of each of these men and, in turn, played an important role in their destinies. A clean, unmarked
copy, in 225 pages, including notes, select bibliography, and index. Inventory # 0403283
