Download or read book Government s Greatest Achievements written by Paul C. Light and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of promises to create smaller, more limited government, Americans often forget that the federal government has amassed an extraordinary record of successes over the past half century. Despite seemingly insurmountable odds, it helped rebuild Europe after World War II, conquered polio and other life-threatening diseases, faced down communism, attacked racial discrimination, reduced poverty among the elderly, and put men on the moon. In Government's Greatest Achievements, Paul C. Light explores the federal government's most successful accomplishments over the previous five decades and anticipates the most significant challenges of the next half century. While some successes have come through major legislation such as the 1965 Medicare Act, or large-scale efforts like the Apollo space program, most have been achieved through collections of smaller, often unheralded statutes. Drawing on survey responses from 230 historians and 220 political scientists at colleges and universities nationwide, Light ranks and summarizes the fifty greatest government achievements from 1944 to 1999. The achievements were ranked based on difficulty, importance, and degree of success. Through a series of twenty vignettes, he paints a vivid picture of the most intense government efforts to improve the quality of life both at home and abroad—from enhancing health care and workplace safety, to expanding home ownership, to improving education, to protecting endangered species, to strengthening the national defense. The book also examines how Americans perceive government's greatest achievements, and reveals what they consider to be its most significant failures. America is now calling on the government to resolve another complex, difficult problem: the defeat of terrorism. Light concludes by discussing this enormous task, as well as government's other greatest priorities for the next fifty years.

Download or read book The Presidents of the United States written by and published by E3. This book was released on 2024-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface The office of the President of the United States is a role steeped in history, power, and responsibility, a position that has shaped not only the course of a nation but also the trajectory of world events. The story of the American presidency is one of evolution, reflecting the changing values, challenges, and aspirations of the country. From the fledgling days of the republic, where George Washington set the precedents for all who would follow, to the complex and often tumultuous modern era, each president has left an indelible mark on the fabric of the nation. This book is not just a recounting of the lives and policies of the men who have held the highest office in the land; it is a journey through the history of the United States, seen through the lens of its leadership. The presidency, as an institution, is both a mirror and a shaper of the times. It reflects the hopes and fears of the American people, the political battles of the day, and the ever-shifting landscape of global affairs. Yet, it also has the power to direct and influence those very elements, making the study of presidents a study of both the past and the future. In examining the lives and legacies of these leaders, this book aims to provide a nuanced understanding of what it means to be president. Each chapter delves into the unique challenges faced by these individuals, the decisions that defined their administrations, and the personal qualities that either buoyed or undermined their leadership. Some presidents are remembered for their triumphs, others for their failures, but all have played a role in the ongoing experiment that is American democracy. This book also seeks to explore the complexities and contradictions of the presidency. The office has been a source of immense power, yet it is also bound by the constraints of the Constitution, the checks and balances of the government, and the will of the people. Presidents have wielded this power in different ways, some expanding the reach of the office, others adhering strictly to its limits. The tension between these approaches has shaped the evolution of the presidency and, by extension, the nation itself. Moreover, this book highlights the human side of the presidency. Behind the public persona, each president was an individual with strengths and weaknesses, hopes and fears, ambitions and insecurities. Their personal lives, relationships, and backgrounds played a significant role in shaping their presidencies. By examining these factors, we gain a deeper understanding of the men who have led the country and the ways in which their humanity influenced their leadership. As you embark on this exploration of the American presidency, you will encounter stories of courage and conviction, of controversy and conflict, of triumph and tragedy. You will see how the office has evolved over time, how it has been shaped by the men who held it, and how it, in turn, has shaped the nation and the world. This book is a tribute to the complexities of leadership, the challenges of governance, and the enduring spirit of the United States. In a time when the role of the president is as critical as ever, understanding the history of the office is essential. This book offers not only a detailed account of the lives of the presidents but also a reflection on the broader implications of their actions. It invites readers to consider what it means to lead, to govern, and to carry the weight of a nation's hopes and dreams. Whether you are a student of history, a lover of politics, or simply curious about the men who have shaped the United States, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of the American presidency, a role that continues to define and challenge the fabric of the nation.

Download or read book America s Nine Greatest Presidents written by Frank P. King and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the 42 men who have held the office of the President of the United States, some are remembered more easily than others for the strength of their administration. The nine greatest presidents were all attractive in one way or another, writes Frank P. King. Far more important and difficult to appreciate and understand, they had superb characters derived from principles, commitments, and habits. They all seem, even now, to be remarkably like us. The success of presidents and congresses and governments is measured by achievements which advance the commercial and strategic health of the nation, our culture, and the prosperity of the nation's people. The peacekeepers--armed with swords, spoons, or pens--have been our greatest blessing. Making and keeping friends and allies is more than a hobby. King chronicles the lives of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harry S Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, James K. Polk, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington and places them in historical perspective in this detailed study. He examines their legislative, military, and political actions, and offers analysis of each man's character, values, progressiveness, and political performance.
