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. |
