Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush
"A fascinating...book. WhatDead Certaindoes very nimbly is give the reader an intimate sense of the president's personality and how it informs his decision making." -The New York Times"What Draper does with great skill inDead Certainis debunk caricatures of George Bush, both positive and negative. In place of the dim-witted bogeyman of the left and the resolute hero of the right, Draper introduces a three-dimensional man full of contradictions." --Salon.com"A fascinating look at both [the Bush] presidency and his personality." -- Brian Williams,NBC Nightly News"Draper is no apologist for the administration, and for Bush-bashers there are plenty of nuggets.... But the overall portrait sheds a humanizing light on a much-vilified president." --Los Angeles Times"An intimate portrait of a White House racked by more infighting than is commonly portrayed." --The Washington Post"Amazing...stunning." --New York Post"Washington's hottest dinner-party book this autumn." --The Observer(UK)
