Kennedy or Richard Nixon became president in 1960, or if Jimmy Carter instead of Ronald Reagan had won the White House in 1980. Indeed, in recent elections, the character, prior policy experience, or personalities of candidates have played an increasing role in our assessments of their "fit" for the Oval Office. Further, these same characteristics are often used to explain an administration's success or failure in policy making. Obviously, who the president is-and what he is like-matters.This book, a new approach to the study of the personal presidency, links the characteristics of six modern American presidents-their personalities and their prior policy-making experience-to their leadership styles, advisory arrangements, and decision making in the White House. Thomas Preston uses M. G. Hermann's Personality Assessment-at-a-Distance (PAD) profiling technique, as well as exhaustive archival research and interviews with former advisors, to develop a leadership style typology. He then compares his model's expectations against the actual policy record of six past presidents, using foreign policy episodes: Korea (1950) for Truman, Dien Bien Phu (1954) for Eisenhower, Cuba (1962) for Kennedy, Vietnam (1967-68) for Johnson, the Gulf War (1990-91) for Bush, and North Korea/Haiti/Bosnia (1994-95) for Clinton. 410 0$aPower, conflict, and democracy. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xStaff$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAdvisory opinions$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1989$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1989-$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century$xDecision making$vCase studies 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xStaff$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical leadership 615 0$aAdvisory opinions 676 $a327.73/009/045 700 $aPreston$b Thomas$f1963-$01607366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826778403321 996 $aThe president and his inner circle$93933613 997 $aUNINA
