What is Playing President: Up Close with Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton about?

Robert Scheer's interviews with and profiles of US presidents have shaped journalism history. Scheer developed close journalistic relationships with Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush I. His reporting on them had a tangible impact on national debate, such as the eminent 1976 __Playboy__ interview in which Jimmy Carter, the then-presidential candidate, admitted to have lusted in his heart; and the 1980 interview with the __L.A. Times__, during which Bush I confessed to Scheer his dream of a "winnable nuclear war.” In __Playing President__, Robert Scheer offers an unparalleled insight into the presidential mind. He analyses each administration since Nixon, and including George W. Bush, offering insights that will surprise the reader—particularly those with rigid preconceptions about the decision-making processes of our leaders. The volume will also include reprints of Scheer’s famous presidential interviews, along with previously unpublished interview transcripts and select previous writings. **Robert Scheer** is the author of six books, including __Thinking Tuna Fish__, __Talking Death: Essays on the Pornography of Power__; __With Enough Shovels: Reagan, Bush and Nu
