Description:A book entitled The Presidential Character is more timely and necessary than ever. This new issue of James David Barber's classic work appears almost 50 years after its first publication and yet reads like a roadmap to the 2020 presidential election.

This question suggests one of the most provocative and appealing reasons for students, scholars, and voters to re-read The Presidential Character at this particular juncture.
