The
Bully Pulpit: The Presidential Leadership of Ronald Reagan by William
Ker Muir, Jr.Ronald Reagan's supporters call him the Great Communicator and say he demonstrated common sense, keen intelligence, and vision as president. His detractors say he was an incompetent manager, lacked the fortitude to make unpleasant decisions, and let his subordinates handle the business of the presidency. More than most presidents, Muir argues, Ronald Reagan set out to change the way the American people thought about events, their country, and themselves--in effect, to create a new public philosophy. This insightful book describes how, through the spoken word, Reagan waged his revolution from the bully pulpit of the White House. |
