The editors of Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency have done a brilliant job in assembling a book which will be of great value to all commentators on, and students of, the contemporary presidency ! The essays are all distinguished by high quality, while the editors add additional coherence by outlining in their introductory and concluding chapters a theory of George W. Bush's presidency ! This is a fine collection, the best available account of the presidential politics of the day before yesterday. -- John Dumbrell, Durham University Journal of American Studies The editors of Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency have done a brilliant job in assembling a book which will be of great value to all commentators on, and students of, the contemporary presidency ! The essays are all distinguished by high quality, while the editors add additional coherence by outlining in their introductory and concluding chapters a theory of George W. Bush's presidency ! This is a fine collection, the best available account of the presidential politics of the day before yesterday.

In one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese, Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies. The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other institutions of the U.S. political system. 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
