When William Crotty and his colleagues tackle a topic, we have learned to expect something special. This book is no exception. Crotty and his contributors revisit the tumultuous journey Barack Obama has been on since the heady days of his 2008 triumph. This book tells us not only what happened, but why Obama's presidency has been buffeted by a unified opposition party, economic dislocations at home and abroad, and a world in transition. A must-read. -- John Kenneth White, Catholic University of America This volume throws real and important light on the nature of the Obama presidency; not only social scientists but citizens will find it valuable and instructive. -- Thomas Ferguson, professor emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Boston This is a comprehensive assessment of the Obama presidency. Students and scholars will find this collection of essays enormously helpful as we grapple with the policies and politics of this era in American political life. -- Peter Ubertaccio, Stonehill College
