Review
"The first comprehensive biography, done by an independent historian but with the former president's blessing."
- Norman Ornstein, the Washington Post
"Herbert S. Parmet offers up a Theodore White-model of living history which, if not the final word on Bush's legacy, brings fresh insight to the three whys most often asked about his political rise and fall: (1) Why, despite telling friends of his "strong reservations" about Bush, did Ronald Reagan pick him as a vice presidential running mate in 1980; (2) Why, despite little personal knowledge of Dan Quayle, did Bush pick him as a vice presidential running mate eight years later; (3) Why, after his unqualified "Read my lips" pledge at the Republican convention that same year, did Bush become party to the Democratic-inspired tax increase of 1990?"
