Inhaltsangabe

This book revolves around three closely related questions. First, how did George W. Bush-a wisecracking cutup, mediocre student, failed oil patch entrepreneur and fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard’s "Champagne Unit"-become a War President? Did George W. Bush go too far-invading Iraq, abandoning the Geneva Conventions’ safeguards for captured prisoners and conducting surveillance over American citizens without court approval-in wielding his powers as War President? And finally, will George W. Bush receive history’s accolade as a great American president for his leadership in the war on terror?
