Note:"The presidency of George W. Bush has been the subject of extensive commentary but limited scholarly analysis in the years since he left office. 43 addresses this by drawing on- without relying on- the recently released interviews of the Miller Center's Presidential Oral History Program. The volume consists of ten chapters, written by highly regarded presidential scholars, examining key topics and themes, including 9/11, the unitary executive, compassionate conservatism, Cheney's vice presidency, the Iraq War, and the financial crisis."-- Provided by publisher.
