The Prudential Presidency: An Aristotelian Approach to Presidential Leadership
Parts of this book were really good -- describing how racism goes "underground" when social norms and laws make overt racism less acceptable. However, he doesn't follow through on examining subtle or disguised racism. Instead, he spends much of the book detailing examples of people crying wolf in high publicized cases (Tawana Brawley, for instance). The beginning and conclusion have wonderful gems. Unfortunately, the middle isn't worth it.
