Inscription on half-title signed by the author (Jim Burns). James MacGregor Burns (August 3, 1918 in Melrose, MA - July 15, 2014 in Williamstown, MA) was an American historian and political scientist, presidential biographer, and authority on leadership studies. He was the Woodrow Wilson Professor of Government Emeritus at Williams College and Distinguished Leadership Scholar the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland. In 1971 Burns received the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in History and Biography for his work Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom. Burns shifted the focus of leadership studies from the traits and actions of great men to the interaction of leaders and their constituencies as collaborators working toward mutual benefit. He was best known for his contributions to the transactional, transformational, aspirational, and visionary schools of leadership theory. Derived from a Kirkus review: Totalitarianism presents a formidable threat to democratic states, where the diffusion of authority generally prevents national leaders from matching the Communists in the consistent pursuit of purpose. The author's thesis is that the pattern of national politics is essentially a four-party pattern each of the two parties divided into congressional and presidential structures--and that the chief executive is therefore forced to manage multi-party coalitions. Because the congressional and presidential parties share to a great extent the same powers, they can block each other. This deadlock has resulted in a government unable to supply the steady leadership and power necessary for the conduct of our affairs. This admirably clear and sensible book makes the sort of elementary statement that ought to be made more often. Readers will find this book stimulating and illuminating.
