520    The American Vice Presidency: From Irrelevance to Power is
       an all-inclusive examination of the vice presidency 
       throughout American history. Acclaimed political 
       journalist and author Jules Witcover chronicles each of 
       the 47 vice presidents, including their personal 
       biographies and their achievements--or lack thereof--
       during their vice presidential tenures. He explores how 
       the roles and responsibilities were first subject to the 
       whims of the presidents under whom they served, but came 
       in time to be expanded by enlightened chief executives and
       the initiatives of the vice presidents themselves. 
       Constitutionally assigned only to preside over the Senate 
       as they stand by to fill a presidential vacancy, early 
       vice presidents were left to languish in irrelevance and 
       ineffectiveness; only in recent decades have vice 
       presidents received--or taken--more power. In particular, 
       Walter Mondale, Al Gore, Dick Cheney, and Joe Biden have 
       undertaken greater and more significant responsibilities. 
       Witcover reports the political maneuvering and 
       manipulation that transformed the vice presidency from 
       mere consolation prize to de facto assistant presidency. 
       The American Vice Presidency, an insightful, revealing 
       look at this oft-dismissed office, is a must-have for 
       lovers of behind-the-scenes political history.
