Classic, but outdated
Neustadt's work has been praised by many other reviewers here, and I won't disagree that this is a classic that must be read by any serious student of the American presidency.Nonetheless, his thesis is quite outdated and has been superceded by more recent scholarship.
Machiavelli in the White House
This is indeed one the classics in the field of presidential studies.Neustadt's contribution, although somewhat commonsensical at first glance, is that despite the huge increase in formal powers that the president has acquired over the years, the most fundamental power the president possesses is the power to persuade. One of three seminal works on the Presidency
Neustadt's book describes one of three theories about Presidents. Everyone knows that there is a balance of power between the judiciary, the legislative and the executive branches. Neustadt claims that the President is the weak leg of the stool and that he is unable to govern alone. He mustuse his powers of persuasion in order to convince the other branches of thegovernment to do his bidding.Read more
