"Schmuhl writes in an interesting, entertaining style. His book needs to be read—especially by politicians." —Choice "In a short, accessible and entertaining sequence of essays, Schmuhl... deals with the interplay between politics and modern communication, between substance and image." —Chicago Tribune "Schmuhl . . . describes how the telegenic presidency of Ronald Reagan changed the American political scene. . . . It documents the sad way in which the electronic age, which is enhanced by smaller cameras and more sophisticated satellite equipment every year, is thinning out whatever substance was left in politics. But Schmuhl is neither preachy nor alarmist. His style is beautifully clear and enlightening." —New York Daily News
In this second edition of Statecraft and Stagecraft Robert Schmuhl brings up to date his provocative exploration of the involvement of the media in our public life by including a new chapter on the Persian Gulf War.
