Trade Review
· "I very much enjoyed reading The Ferocious Engine of Democracy, and I'm grateful to know of Riccards's perspective on the presidency." - Former President Bill Clinton · "Riccards views the U. S. presidency as a prism through which American politics and culture is reflected . …He writes very well, knows how to tell an interesting story, and is judicious in his evaluations." -Library Journal · "This narrative overview of the gargantuan literature of the presidency punctures myths and settles on conclusions not bound to please fans of this or that president…. A learned but nimble and astute survey." -Booklist
