American Statesmanship
2021
Overview
This book, much needed in our public discourse, examines
some of the most significant political leaders in American
history.
With an eye on the elusive qualities of political greatness,
this anthology considers the principles and practices of diverse
political leaders who influenced the founding and development of
the American experiment in self-government. Providing both breadth
and depth, this work is a virtual \"who's who\" from the founding to
modern times. From George Washington to Frederick Douglass and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton to FDR and Ronald Reagan, the book's
twenty-six chapters are thematically organized to include a brief
biography of each subject, his or her historical context, and the
core principles and policies that led to political success or
failure. A final chapter considers the rhetorical legacy of Bill
Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Nearly all
readers agree that statesmanship makes a crucial difference in the
life of a nation and its example is sorely needed in America today.
These concise portraits will appeal to experts as well as history
buffs. The volume is ideal for leadership and political science
classroom use in conjunction with primary sources.
