Mark Phythian, University of Leicester, UK.
John Dumbrell has brought together a collection of first rate scholars to review President Obama's first term. Whether you agree or disagree with the Obama policy agenda, this book will enable you to understand his presidency from a sophisticated perspective.
James P. Pfiffner, George Mason University, USA.
This collection of essays, edited by one of Britain's leading authorities on America, is essential reading for those wishing to understand the Obama presidency and the polarized political culture in which he has tried to lead.
Mark White, Queen Mary, University of London, UK.
John Dumbrell has pulled together an outstanding set of essays on modern American politics . These not only illustrate how polarized the United States has become in the age of Bush and Obama. They also reveal – once more – what a fascinating and exceptional country America remains. This is by far the most penetrating and wide-ranging volume on the key issues now facing the US in the opening decades of the 21st century.
