Description: The Imperial Presidency was written by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. It is a fascinating study of the changing role of the Presidency in American politics since the writing of the United States Constitution, tracing the growth of presidential power over two centuries from George Washington to George W. Bush. Originally published in 1973 following the Watergate scandal of the Nixon administration, The Imperial Presidency is particularly concerned with the potential for the American Presidency to override both Congress and Constitution in a quest for power and political supremacy over the other branches of government. This beautiful leather-bound book is a Collector’s Edition, published in 1988 as part of The Easton Press Leather-Bound Library of American History. It features the trademark 22kt gold inlaid design on the hubbed spine and front and back covers, 22kt gold gilded page edges, interior pages of archival-quality acid-neutral paper, smyth-sewn binding and a sewn-in satin ribbon page marker. The book is in perfect condition, inside and out. Since purchase it’s been in a bookcase or stored in a box, but never read or handled. I am downsizing my home so reluctantly parting with some classics. As a new seller to eBay, I have yet to receive seller feedback but aim to earn your 100% satisfaction. The book is carefully packed (Dimensions: 9 1/2" x 7" x 2") and ready to ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment. I will ship within the Continental US.
