Description: "What should we look for in a president? This timeless question begs reconsideration in light of today's crucial presidential election season. To that end, The Presidential Character, James David Barber's examination of who has the potential to occupy the highest office in the land - and why - is being reissued as the newest addition to the Longman Classics in Political Science series. Arguing that patterns in a person's character, world view, and political style can help us anticipate their performance as president, this classic text offers explanations and predictions of the performance of past presidents and presidential candidates."--Jacket.
