The George W. Bush Presidency: An Early Assessment

The George W. Bush Presidency: An Early Assessment Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Leading presidential scholars assess the first two years of the Bush administration from the perspectives of economics, foreign policy, and relations with Congress, his cabinet, and the public.

Book News Annotation:

Greenstein (emeritus, political science, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs) presents 10 papers that broadly assess the first few years of Bush's presidency. Often critical, the discussions look at the leadership style and political ethos of the president before looking at specific policy issues such as the budget and foreign policy. His relationships with the Congress and the public are explored in a number of chapters. A final chapter presents an assessment of the administration by John J. Dilulio, the first director of Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
