The Presidency in Action "delves into the functional side of the American presidency, outlining the responsibilities of the President and the resources at his disposal. Essays on presidential Action Areas and Administrative Units,from Bradley H. Patterson's The White House Staff, along with a graphically rich Organization Chart of the current White House, detail the offices the President relies on and the personnel inhabiting them. Biographies of leading staffers and advisers add further depth to this portrait of the White House at work."
