Reviews

"The revised edition of Bob Greene's study of the George H. W. Bush presidency is even better than the very good first edition. Wise, balanced, and lively, Greene's narrative does ample justice to an administration whose achievements and failures deserve just this kind of lucid, fair-minded, and absorbing treatment."--Lewis L. Gould, author of The Republicans: A History of the Grand Old Party"In this masterful account of George H. W. Bush, Greene captures the essence of both the man and his presidency. The Presidency of George H. W. Bush offers the fullest and fairest assessment of this president. Greene's insightful and rigorous analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in George H. W. Bush and his presidency."--Michael F. Cairo, author of The Gulf: The Bush Presidencies and the Middle East"In this updated and remarkably comprehensive edition, Greene has enhanced our understanding of George H.W. Bush with expanded coverage of the significant events that defined his presidency. Additionally, his balanced coverage of Bush's post-presidential years is particularly valuable."--Christopher Maynard, author of Out of the Shadow: George H. W. Bush and the End of the Cold War

This important book provides scholars of the American presidency and general readers with a solid, comprehensive account of the political career of George H. W. Bush."--Choice
