Summary:  George W. Bush, the forty-third president of the United States, almost singlehandedly decided to invade Iraq. The consequences dominated the Bush Administration and still haunt us today. Bush drew on his deep religious conviction that important foreign-policy decisions were simply a matter of good versus evil. Domestically, he overreacted to 9/11 and endangered Americans' civil liberties. Smith explains that it wasn't until the financial crisis of 2008 that Bush finally accepted expert advice, something he had previously been unwilling to do. As a result, he authorized decisions that saved the economy from possible collapse, even though some of those decisions violated Bush's own political philosophy. An evaluation of the Bush presidency - including Guantanamo, Katrina and No Child Left Behind that will surely surprise many readers. Jean Edward Smith is a biographer and a professor of political science at Marshall University. He was also a professor of political economy at the University of Toronto for thirty-five years.
