Description:

For more than five decades, Richard E. Neustadt was America's leading expert on the Presidency. He was an adviser to several Presidents, from Harry S. Truman to Bill Clinton. His book Presidential Power, first published in 1960, remains required reading for anyone seeking to understand decisionmaking at the highest levels of American government. He also produced classic studies of foreign and domestic policy such as Alliance Politics, a penetrating analysis of crises in U.S.-U.K. relations, and Thinking in Time: The Uses of History (coauthored with Ernest R. May). In Guardian of the Presidency, Neustadt's colleagues and students celebrate the rich and diverse contributions he made to political and academic life. Dick Neustadt began his career as presidential adviser in 1946. He joined the Bureau of Budget, working for President Truman, before becoming a special assistant in the Truman White House in 1950. After the Republicans captured the White House in 1952, he entered academic life, teaching first at Cornell University and then at Columbia. The publication of Presidential Power brought him to the attention of President-elect John F. Kennedy, who commissioned Neustadt to prepare recommendations for his transition to office. Neustadt declined a formal position with the administration but continued to advise Kennedy and, later, Lyndon Johnson. He also consulted to the transition teams for Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. An institution builder as well as a scholar and an adviser, Neustadt was the founding director of Harvard University's Institute of Politics and a guiding force in developing the John F. Kennedy School of Government. In this role, he helped shape generations of leaders, both in the United States and abroad.Foreword by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
