Features: On January 20, 2005, George W. Bush took the oath of office as the 55th President of the United States, marking the beginning of his second term as President. His re-election broke the cycle of his father, George H.W. Bush, failing to secure re-election, shocking the world. This is the shortest gap in American history between two consecutive presidential terms from father to son. The Bush presidents spanned two centuries; when George H.W. Bush served, he launched the Gulf War, and by the time George W. Bush became president, he escalated the Gulf War to a new phase. The Iraq War changed the landscape of post-Cold War warfare. People had to face a reality: the impact of the Bush presidents on the world was immense. And George W. Bush's re-election would continue to have a significant impact on the world. The Bush family has truly become an American family. This family not only has a bloodline connection to the British royal family but also boasts a history as glorious as any. George W. Bush's great-grandfather was a steel magnate, his grandfather was a member of Congress, his maternal grandfather was a renowned banker on Wall Street, and his father was the 41st President of the United States. This book, with a delicate touch, introduces the glorious and deep-rooted history of the influential Bush family, the presidency and policy-making of the first Bush president—George H.W. Bush, the political career and counter-terrorism strategy of the second Bush president—George W. Bush, the various challenges and opportunities George W. Bush faced after successfully re-election, and how the women of the Bush family became the strong support behind the Bush presidential campaigns.
