Reviews
"A lively, instructive, and thoroughly entertaining history that explains the mysterious chemistry between nine of America's presidents and their most powerful advisers." --David Roll, author of The Hopkins Touch: Harry Hopkins and the Forging of the Alliance to Defeat Hitler "This is a highly readable and most enjoyable look at the people behind some of the most influential US presidents, beginning with Washington and his right-hand-aide Alexander Hamilton and moving through history to the duo of George H. W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It reminds us that no president is an isl∧ his success or failure often depends on the men or women around him. While some of these partnerships dissolved acrimoniously, their influences were powerful, enduring, and helped shape the nation at crucial moments in its history." --Linda Lotridge Levin, Professor Emeritus, journalism, University of Rhode Island, and author of The Making of FDR "This is a very readable and absorbing account of the American presidents and their advisors through all the administrations.... It is all about politics and personalities and how these two items sometimes combined to produce something not only remarkable but also relevant to history. President Lincoln and his secretary of state, William Seward, for instance, had a personal relationship that contributed as much to the winning of the Civil War as any battle. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in politics and in American history." --David Alan Johnson, author of Battle of Wills "Cummings rewards readers with thoroughly researched tales of American presidents and their closest counselors. Equally insightful and entertaining, Partner to Power remains lively, even as it expands our understanding of presidential decision-making." --Dr. David Priess, author of The President's Book of Secrets and former CIA officer, ""Cummings uncovers much fascinating presidential history.... An original, insightful exploration of how the presidency has evolved and of how presidents have functioned."--Publishers Weekly "Delivers entertaining accounts that illuminate an important feature of American presidential politics."--Kirkus Reviews"This intimate look at the partnerships that shaped presidencies is delightfully informative. It vividly shows how the personalities of leaders and those around them affect the whole world."--Stephen Kinzer, author of The Brothers and The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of American Empire"One of the best ways to add fresh perspective to leaders as well-known as Washington, Lincoln, or Eisenhower is through a confidant who knew them in all seasons, fair and foul. Partner to Power casts that light on nine presidents, from the point of view of those in the very tightest ring of the inner circle. Cummings carefully traces how each such relationship evolved, changing history as a president turned to another person as a crony, sounding board, political hitman, or all of those and more. Packed with rich anecdotes, Cummings's vigorous new book will engage readers whether they are just meeting the presidents in question or have already read extensively about them." --Julie Fenster, author of Jefferson's America and FDR's Shadow"A lively, instructive, and thoroughly entertaining history that explains the mysterious chemistry between nine of America's presidents and their most powerful advisers." --David Roll, author of The Hopkins Touch: Harry Hopkins and the Forging of the Alliance to Defeat Hitler"This is a highly readable and most enjoyable look at the people behind some of the most influential US presidents, beginning with Washington and his right-hand-aide Alexander Hamilton and moving through history to the duo of George H.

This revealing book examines the relationships between U.S. presidents and their closest advisers from a psychological, personal, and professional point of view. The author, a Capitol Hill veteran, shows why such relationships are necessary, how presidents have employed them, how they have evolved over successive administrations, and why some believe they are not in the best interests of the nation. Cummingsdescribes relationships that have sometimes been tense, such as the fractious association between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton; or complicated, as seen in the often-troubled understanding between Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton; or controversial, as in the influence of Vice President Dick Cheney on the decision making of George W. Bush. There have also been close friendships, such as the bond between Abraham Lincoln and William Seward; the long-term partnership of Franklin Roosevelt and Louis Howe; and, more recently, the trusting reliance of Barack Obama on Valerie Jarrett. Whether their connection with presidents was close or strained, these "partners to power" had an impact on some of history's most important moments and decisions. Full of interesting vignettes, insights, and little-known facts, this is a fascinating insider's account of the exercise of power at the highest levels., This revealing book examines the relationships between U.S. presidents and their closest advisers from a psychological, personal, and professional point of view.

- r***1 (179)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- k***a (326)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufPositive experience but could be better. Item description was accurate but, it was shipped in a simple bag with no carton or any protection. The bag was broken in places and the USPS bent the book like it was a newspaper and ruined what was an excellent looking book. That was clearly the USPS fault but a "Do Not Bend" or carton would help next time. Otherwise accurate description, value, condition and Fast shipping. I'm a returning customer and will keep buying from World of Books
