Recenzii

"Matt Corrigan s provocative thesis - that presidents with familial ties pose a threat to the presidency and even to American democracy - uses the tools of a skilled presidentialist to examine a subject on everyone s mind: the dynastic presidential politics echoed in names like Bush and Clinton. Presidential dynasty is nothing new (think Adams and Harrison). But the powerful modern presidency demands that we confront Corrigan s arguments in this important new book." - Robert J. Spitzer, Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science, SUNY Cortland and author of Saving the Constitution from Lawyers
"Matt Corrigan s book raises serious questions every person should consider about the presidencyin this postmodern, media-saturated environment.We may be at a time in our polity when too much name recognition is a prelude to disaster." - DavidWoodard, Professor of Political Science, Clemson University
"Corrigan s American Royalty represents an insightful analysis of the prospects and challenges raised by the domination of the Presidency by two families. This provocative work is important reading for those concerned about the future of American politics and the status of democracy." - David Gray Adler, Professor Political Science, Idaho State University
