| In this new book, Intellectuals and the American Presidency (Rowman & Littlefield, May 2002) Tevi Troy examines the complex relationships between U.S. presidents and intellectuals. From Arthur Schlesinger’s work in John Kennedy’s campaign and administration to Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s role in the Nixon White House to Sidney Blumenthal’s efforts to secure intellectual support for a scandal-plagued Bill Clinton, every president since 1960 has grappled with the need for legitimization by the intellectual community. Using popular sources and previously untapped archival material, Troy, a former researcher at AEI, looks at the advisers who were liaisons to the scholarly world and at the presidents’ views of those intellectuals. Intellectuals and the American Presidency analyzes how American presidents have made use of intellectuals to shape their images and advance their agendas. This discussion will explore the themes that Troy raises in his book. |
