Where Power Stops

The Making and Unmaking of Presidents and Prime Ministers

David Runciman
David Runciman assesses the leadership and character of eight modern American presidents and British prime ministers in this collection of essays, originally published in the London Review of Books. He argues that, taken together, they show how the power that visionaries including Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and Barack Obama imagined was not only ‘illusory’, but limited by their own personality as well as bureaucracy.
