- Summary
- Robert Scheer's interviews with and profiles of U.S. presidents have shaped journalism history. Scheer developed close journalistic relationships with several presidents, and his reporting on them had a tangible impact on national debate. In Playing President, Robert Scheer offers insight into the presidential mind. He analyzes each administration since Nixon, and including George W. Bush, offers insights that will surprise the reader, particularly those with rigid preconceptions about the decision-making processes of our leaders. .
