From AudioFile:

Great writing and a balanced reading propel the life story of one of our most controversial presidents. Even Bush-bashers will be riveted to their audio players as the narrative shoots holes in the oversimplified view of Bush his detractors like to portray. Is he a Christian or a champion of the "three great religions"? Is he the demon of gay and minority causes or the president with many such appointees in Cabinet and diplomatic positions? The sections on Bush's early business and political life are illuminating. While the unflattering episodes are described minimally, this presentation invites a calmer consideration of Bush's life than a tell-all approach would allow. A biography that people of all political persuasions will enjoy. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
