Recenzii

This absorbing and incisive book shows that image is far more than a cosmetic concern ... The Presidential Image is a timely reminder that to beat Donald Trump, Joe Biden will need to back up his policy plans with a compelling image.
Presidents have spent a lot of time and energy crafting their public image, so it's surprising that historians have not given this important subject the same kind of attention. This interesting, imaginative, and original volume goes a long way in filling this historiographical void.
The Presidential Image is a much-needed addition to our understanding of the presidency. Fresh insights into each of these leaders show how powerful image can be, and oftentimes the image is carefully constructed and curated by the president himself.
