Description: "By explicating the presidency from George Washington to George W. Bush, The Great Game of Politics examines the American presidency as a cyclical reflection of the concerns of the electorate vis a vis the excitation of the ideologies of our two major parties in a constant left-right swing. The will of the people sets the pendulum in motion and determines the direction that the country will take for another four years."--Jacket.
