Product Description
Scott McClellan was one of a few Bush loyalists from Texas who became part of
his inner circle of trusted advisers, and remained so during one of the most
challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Drawn to Bush by his
commitment to compassionate conservatism and strong bipartisan leadership,
McClellan served the president for more than seven years, and witnessed
day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course.In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, written with no agenda other than to
record his experiences and insights for the benefit of history, McClellan
provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did,
including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, Washington's bitter partisanship, and
two hotly contested presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into
who George W. Bush is and what he believes, and into the personalities,
strengths, and liabilities of his top aides. Finally, McClellan looks to the
future, exploring the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we
prepare to elect a new leader. |
