Features: "Who Made Bush President?" is not a book to expose the shortcomings of George W. Bush. In fact, the two authors have largely dispelled the fog of doubt surrounding the intelligence of the younger Bush, revealing the fact that Karl Rove may be the most powerful person in America. This is a shocking story told by two seasoned Texas journalists who dealt directly with the central figure of the book, not based on hearsay. "Who Made Bush President?" is a deep analysis of Karl Rove's remarkable political career, while also clearly and concisely narrating the crucial role he played in George W. Bush's rise to power. The book presents a historical record of late 20th-century American politics, telling the enigmatic and extraordinary political life of Rove—one obtained through interviews with Rove himself, as well as through stories from his friends and even his political rivals. Experienced political journalists James Moore and Venessa Slater show us, through this book, the lesser-known skillful maneuvering and conspiracies of this key strategic advisor to President Bush. Reading this book, you can uncover the behind-the-scenes stories of Rove when he was doing the following: destroying the careers of his political rivals, arranging some "secret" courses for the younger Bush to teach him how to run the government, planning a series of cold and effective campaigns, and ultimately getting George W. Bush into the White House.
