Review Quotes: "Renowned scholar David Contosta pens a work of bravery for the times: a historical account of abuses of power by the President of the United States, which he argues mimics a monarchy in its present form, manifesting the Founders' worst fears. This thought-provoking and salient book accounts for various ways that executive power is exploited and in turn, result in inevitabilities that pose an existential threat to American democracy." --Jeffrey Carroll, Associate Professor of Political Science and Chair of the Center for Data & Society, Chestnut Hill College, USA
