W: Revenge Of The Bush Dynasty

The Story

By the time George W. was 42 years old, his father would be president of the United States, and 11 years later, the son himself would be the front-runner in the race for the White House. Although similar in many aspects, these two should not be confused: George W. is known for his wicked tongue and quick temper unlike his father who is known to be a gentle, emotional man; he was a fun-loving playboy until his early thirties while his father early on dedicated himself to his family; George W. has made his name and his fame in Texas while his father spent most of his life -- personal and public -- straddling the East Coast and the Lone Star State.In this book, Elizabeth (Biz) Mitchell, a seasoned political journalist with a flair for rendering personalities, delves deep into the personage of George W. Bush. She explores his family, his roots; through extensive interviews with the people closest to him -- both allies and foes -- Mitchell illuminates what has formed George W., what drives him and what has made him the presidential contender he is.
