Summary: Essays Describing Issues Specific to the Presidency
Comment: This book consists of 35 essays which describe specific aspects of the presidency or the president's administration during times of the departure of one president and arrival of the next. The essays are written by those who witnessed the transition first hand or those who have studied the events.

The essays are organized by topic. For example, there are sections devoted to The White House, National Security and Foreign Policy Processes, Economy, Science, Congress, Vice-Presicency. Within each section there are several essays describing various historical events or recommendations for future transitioning officials.

The book is an interesting historical account but by nature of the essay format and subject, it can get a little dry.

I enjoyed the book during my first reading in 1989. I think back to some of the essays now which is what prompted me to look for an updated version. Great reading for historical accounts that are often glimpses behind the scenes. Not great reading for pure entertainment.
