The Post-Heroic Presidency: Leveraged Leadership in an Age of Limits, 2nd Edition: Leveraged Leadership in an Age of Limits

This book examines how presidents from Nixon to Obama have faced the challenges of global leadership in a dramatically changing world—one with more limited resources and an increasing number of threatening challengers.

• Examines what challenges future U.S. presidents will have to deal with in our globalized world

• Addresses the important question of what role can and should the United States play in the international arena

• Explains why the office of president—once seen as one of the great engines of American power—now exhibits decline in presidential success and appears handcuffed and ineffective in creating change
