Summary: A gripping read
Comment: I found Calvin Mackenzie's book, Innocent Until Nominated: The Breakdown Of The Presidential Appointments Process, a gripping read. It is a fascinating look at the bumbling bureacracy that surrounds the appointment circus. The book is detailed and painstakingly researched, and Mackenzie uses real-life examples to make his case. A must-read for any American who has ever marvelled at the insane appointment process.

Summary: Fascinating study of a tormented American political process.
Comment: Aptly edited by Calvin Mackenzie (Goldfarb Family Distinguished Professor of American Government, Colby College) Innocent Until Nominated: The Breakdown Of The Presidential Appointments Process is a close, no-nonsense look at the pitfall-filled, red-tape crisscrossed and generally insane means by which a president chooses top management positions in the executive branch of government. The deadly crossfire of character assassination, manipulation, horse trading, and much, much more behind the tangled mess of presidential appointments is studied in fine detail, to the seeming conclusion that attempting serve one's country has become a job for saints and madmen in this day and age. A truly fascinating study of a tormented political process by exceptionally knowledgeable contributors, Innocent Until Nominated is strongly recommended reading for students of American political science seeking a better understanding of the political dynamics embedded in the presidential nominations and senatorial confirmation processes.
