    摘要、提要註: This book revolves around three closely related questions. First, how did George W. Bush?a wisecracking cutup, mediocre student, failed oilpatch entrepreneur and fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard?s?Champagne Unit??become a War President? Did George W. Bush go too far?invading Iraq, abandoning the Geneva Conventions? safeguards for captured prisoners and conducting surveillance over American citizens without court approval?in wielding his powers as War President? And finally, will George W. Bush receive history?s accolade as a great American president for his leadership in the war on terror?
