Yuval Levin👍 Recommends
…recommending books about the American system of government and branches of power
“Second, I would recommend Lindsay Travinsky's book, Making the Presidency, which is a work of history. Travinsky is a historian. It's a book about John Adams and the way in which he thought about the institution of the presidency in the wake of Washington. Really fascinating and also has a lot to offer us in understanding the contemporary moment.”
