This superb volume integrates insights about political leadership from some of the most respected scholars currently researching American politics. In aggregate, the chapters are theoretically nuanced and empirical rich and examine leadership in a wide range of contexts and levels of US government. Overall, it is the single best treatment of the topic that I have read. --C. Lawrence Evans, professor, Department of Government, College of William and Mary Jenkins and Volden have assembled a distinguished group of contributors to help revitalize the study of leadership in political science. In this exceptionally coherent and well-constructed volume, contributors address the capacity of national leaders to drive policy change, analyze the different challenges of leaders across the formal and informal institutions of American government, and offer new theoretical perspectives on leadership. The chapters are both interesting from a scholarly perspective and well-suited for assignment to undergraduates. --Frances E. Lee, coeditor, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Professor of Government & Politics, University of Maryland
