Book Description
Phantoms of a Beleaguered Republic traces the tensions between presidential power and the depth of the American state back through the decades and forward through the various settlements arrived at in previous eras. Skowronek, Dearborn, and King provide a richly historical perspective on the conflicts that rocked Trump's presidency. Now, in this expanded paperback edition, they address the tumultuous Trump-Biden transition and reflect more broadly on the problems of presidential democracy in America today.
