"Now indispensable for students of the Office and for serious observers of a
President -- and readable, besides!"
--Richard E. Neustadt.
“PSQ is a must read for any serious scholar of presidential rhetoric.”
-- Kathleen Hall Jamieson
"Presidential Studies Quarterly accomplishes two important goals. It publishes the best work on the presidency and it actively promotes research and writing. (PSQ) identifies the gaps and provides data and commentary on contemporary developments. The journal makes an enormous contribution to presidential scholarship."
-- Charles O. Jones
“Without question Presidential Studies Quarterly is the premier journal which explains the history and mechanisms of our Executive Branch. Always fascinating, the high-quality of the contributions is truly astounding. I salute Presidential Studies Quarterly for its unqualified excellence.”
-- Douglas Brinkley
