Sommario/riassunto |

This is the first analysis to place the George W. Bush presidency in a broad historical and theoretical context. Author Steven E. Schier goes beyond the perspective of contemporary political commentary to provide the first dispassionate, even-handed assessment Bush's years in office. |
