"Just in time for the presidential election, Bruce Miroff offers a thoughtful, informed, and accessible book that adds an important element to the expanding argument that the context of a presidency dominates what the president can accomplish."-- George C. Edwards III, co-author of Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy "What a marvelous book Bruce Miroff has written. With clear and felicitous prose, Miroff offers a number of fresh insights on important topics that are often either marginalized in the literature, or wedded to largely unquestioned assumptions rooted in an earlier era."-- Michael Nelson , author of Resilient America: Electing Nixon in 1968, Channeling Dissent, and Dividing Government "A model of concision and clarity, Bruce Miroff's Presidents on Political Ground is that rare book that is at once a great read, an important scholarly contribution, and an ideal text for the undergraduate and graduate classroom."-- Richard J. Ellis , author of Democratic Delusions: The Initiative Process in America and Presidential Lightning Rods: The Politics of Blame Avoidance, "Particularly insightful are the distinction between rhetoric and 'impression management,' the two-edge swords represented by friendly social movements, and the varying categories of presidential domestic policy achievement depending on the enthusiasm and activism of the president."-- Review of Politics "No brief review can do full justice to Miroff's thoughtful analysis, which demonstrates his deep knowledge of presidential history as well as his willingness to admit when a particular case does not fit his paradigm."-- H-Net Reviews "Miroff's chapters on media, coalition politics, and domestic policy in particular deserve the attention of all presidential scholars."-- Congress & the Presidency, "Just in time for the presidential election, Bruce Miroff offers a thoughtful, informed, and accessible book that adds an important element to the expanding argument that the context of a presidency dominates what the president can accomplish."George C.

Ellis , author of Democratic Delusions: The Initiative Process in America and Presidential Lightning Rods: The Politics of Blame Avoidance, "The book lays out five political contexts that form the backdrop of presidential acumen and accomplishment. Miroff then draws effortlessly from anecdotes in modern presidential history to illustration that presidents have responded in unique ways to these common contextual patterns according to their character and skill. Miroff contributes valuable insight to our knowledge of the American presidency."-- Political Science Quarterly "Particularly insightful are the distinction between rhetoric and 'impression management,' the two-edge swords represented by friendly social movements, and the varying categories of presidential domestic policy achievement depending on the enthusiasm and activism of the president."-- Review of Politics "No brief review can do full justice to Miroff's thoughtful analysis, which demonstrates his deep knowledge of presidential history as well as his willingness to admit when a particular case does not fit his paradigm."-- H-Net Reviews "Miroff's chapters on media, coalition politics, and domestic policy in particular deserve the attention of all presidential scholars."-- Congress & the Presidency

Synopsis
Presidents on Political Ground explores five fields of political struggle--media, economic power, coalitions, domestic policy, and partisan foreign policy--that shape the fate of contemporary presidents., How much power does a president really have? Theories and arguments abound--pointlessly, Bruce Miroff says, if we don't understand the context in which presidents operate. Borrowing from Machiavelli, Miroff maps five fields of political struggle that presidents must traverse to make any headway: media, powerful economic interests, political coalitions, the high-risk politics of domestic policy, and the partisan politics of foreign policy. The prince readying for war, Machiavelli writes, must "learn the nature of the terrain, and know how mountains slope, how valleys open, how plains lie, and understand the nature of rivers and swamps." So it is with presidents navigating the political landscape. The variability of political ground, and of the conflicts fought on it, is a core proposition of this study. The swift collapse of the Soviet Union, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the financial crisis of 2008--recent history offers a quick lesson in fortune's role in the careers of presidents. Taking a historical perspective, which opens on an array of cases, Miroff explores the various ways in which a president's agenda is constrained or facilitated by political conditions on the ground. His book reveals how political identity is constructed and contested in the media through the ever-changing presidential spectacle; what happens when Democrats in the White House tangle with the titans of the economy; why presidents claiming to represent the entire nation have to manage political coalitions that direct rewards to their own followers; why domestic policy has become "tough terrain" for presidents; and how partisan polarization has reshaped presidential leadership in foreign policy, an area once considered "beyond politics." Providing a new perspective on why and how presidents succeed or fail in each of these areas, this book is an indispensable resource for understanding the forces that shape presidencies and the power of a president to fight on such fraught terrain.
