The result is a comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy.Key Features*Chapters by leading authorities from both sides of the Atlantic*One of the first volumes to take into account the full span of the Bush presidency*Broad-ranging coverage of both domestic and foreign policy*Short, direct chapters providing incisive analysis of the administration's successes and failures.
