Description

The presidency of George W. Bush has been extensively commented on, but limited scholarly analysis has followed in its wake. This book offers an inside look at his administration through ten chapters written by prominent presidency scholars. Drawing heavily from the Miller Center's Presidential Oral History Program interviews, it examines key topics such as 9/11, the unitary executive, and the Iraq War. The essays provide a balanced assessment of Bush's presidency, including its successes and failures. They explore the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, legislative battles over taxes and healthcare reform, and the financial crisis of 2008. By relying on insider accounts from senior officials, these chapters offer a nuanced understanding of the decision-making process behind some of the most significant events of Bush's presidency. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of one of the most consequential presidencies in US history.
