High Risk And Big Ambition: The Presidency of George W. Bush - Hardcover

"The Bush presidency - for good or Ill - is one of the most important administrations since FDR. This book places the Bush Revolution, and that's what it is, in context, giving the reader the tools for making sense of the momentous changes taking place in the United States and around the world." - Michael A. Genovese, author of The Power of the American Presidency; "We need this book as an exploration of the legitimacy of the George W. Bush presidency. His administration has the potential to be a pivotal point in our history, eminently worthy of the analysis this book brings." - G. Calvin Mackenzie, Goldfarb Family Distinguished Professor of American Government, Colby College"

Assesses the trajectory and character of Bush's time in office-a presidency best characterized by a series of bold risks in the service of two primary goals: the transformation of American foreign policy and the creation of a lasting Republican dominance of domestic politics.
