Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. xv, [1] 463, [1] p. Illustrations. Source Notes. Index. Dead Certain is a story told in six sections. Beginning with an immersion into Bush the nascent politician (entitled "Baptism"), we see in "Through Our Tears" a mandate-less new President evincing both c…ollegiality and defensiveness as he pursues his conservative agenda. "Dark City On A Hill" describes the contentiousness that attends the roll-up to Iraq and the queasy slide from Mission Accomplished to the occupation of a broken nation. The final section, "A Laying On Of Hands, " finds a once-swaggering presidency desperately moving from one gambit to another in an effort to right its sagging agenda, culminating in the 2006 midterm elections that decide the fate of a hobbled administration. Far from being a retelling of well-known events, Dead Certain plumbs both the natural drama and the behind-the-scenes granularity of George W. Bush's episodic presidency. It will be regarded as a classic, inside account of this troubled presidency. First edition. First edition stated. First printing stated.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xv, [1], 463, [1] pages. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads To Ken & Andrea--Two great & brilliant people with actual conscience! with much affection & admiration, Robert Draper 12/10/07. Includes Prologue, Baptism, "Through Our Tears"; Dar…k City On A Hill; A Choice, Not a Referendum; Comeuppance; and The Thumpin'. Also includes Epilogue, Source Notes, Authors Note and Acknowledgments, and Index. Robert Draper (born November 15, 1959) is an American journalist. Draper's literary success became apparent when he became the author of Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush, a chronicle of the Bush administration from 2001 to 2007. In this most press-wary of administrations, Robert Draper has accomplished a small miracle: He has knocked on all of the right doors, and thus became the first author to tell a personality-driven history of the Bush years. In so doing, he allows us to witness in complete granularity the personal force of a president determined to achieve big things, who remained an optimist in the face of a sometimes harsh unpopularity, who confronted the history of this time with what can surely be described as dead certainty. The New York Times reviewed the book, writing that it gives "the reader an intimate sense of the president's personality and how it informs his decision making." He is also the author of Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives. He is a correspondent for GQ and a contributor to The New York Times Magazine. Previously, he worked for Texas Monthly. In this ambitious work of political narrative, Robert Draper takes us inside the Bush White House and delivers an intimate portrait of a tumultuous decade and a beleaguered administration. Virtually every page of this book crackles with scenes, anecdotes, and dialogue that will surprise even long-time observers of George W. Bush. With unprecedented access to all the key figures of this administration from six one-on-one sessions with the president, to Laura Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove, and perhaps 200 other players, some well-known, some not Draper has achieved what no other journalist or contemporary historian has done thus far: he has told the story of the Bush White House from the inside, with a special emphasis on how the very personality of this strong-willed president has affected the outcome of events. Bush loyalists and the growing number of Bush detractors will all find much to savor in this riveting political page-turner. We begin with a revealing lunch at the White House where a testy, hot dog-chomping president finally unburdens himself to the inquisitive reporter, a fellow Texan who well understands the manly argot that courses through this administration. We revisit the primaries of election-year 2000, in which the character of the candidate and indeed the future of the Republican Party were forged in the scalding South Carolina battle with Senator John McCain. We proceed forward to witness intimately the confusion and the eloquence that followed the September 11 attacks, then the feckless attempts to provide electricity to a darkened Baghdad, the high- and lowlights of the 2004 re-election bid, the startling and fruitless attempt to spend capital by overhauling the Social Security system, the inept response to Katrina, the downward spiraling and increasingly divisive war in Iraq. Though the headlines may be familiar, the details, the utterly inside account of how events transpired will come as fresh reportage to even the most devoted followers of mainstream media coverage. First Free Press Hardcover Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Susan Raines (author photograph) and Brooks Kraft (illustrator).
