The Imperial Presidency is a work by historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. Published in 1973 by Houghton Mifflin, the book was reissued in 1989 with a 79-page epilogue and then re-released by Houghton Mifflin in 2004 in a Mariner Books paperback edition that included a new 16-page introduction. A one-volume work, it recounts and analyzes the history of the presidency of the United States from the office's conception as this emerged from the Constitutional Convention and then developed through the latter half of the 20th century, with special attention to aspects of war powers. Schlesinger's book popularized the term imperial presidency^[1] and has been described as "the most prominent school of thought on executive war powers" and "a lens through which to understand and critique the executive branch in the post-9/11 world".^[2]
