- Summary:
- To most Americans, the president's character matters deeply. In this volume, Pfiffner leads us through a survey of three aspects of presidential character that have proved problematic for recent chief executives: lies, promise-keeping, and sexual probity. His goal is not to tell us which presidents have been "good" or "bad, but rather, to help us think critically about complex character issues.
