With Rebel-in-Chief, veteran political reporter Fred Barnes provides the defining book on George W. Bushs presidency, giving an insiders view of how Bushs unique presidential style and bold reforms are dramatically remaking the countryand, indeed, the world. In the process, Barnes shows, the president is shaking up Washington and reshaping the conservative movement.
Barnes has gained extraordinary access to the Bush administration for Rebel-in-Chief, conducting rare one-on-one interviews with President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and many other close presidential advisers. That access, along with Barness extensive independent reporting and interviewing, produces an eye-opening look at this highly consequentialand controversialpresidency.
Rebel-in-Chief reveals:
How Bush acts as an insurgent force in the nations capitala different kind of president who is turning the Washington establishment on its ear
How Bush is redefining conservatism for a new eraand creating a new Republican majority
The inside story of how Bush has revolutionized American foreign policyand how the president's crusade for democracy would have been anathema to Bush himself only five years ago
When and why Bush decided to go into Iraq, even knowing that he was putting his political future at risk
How a White House aide you've probably never heard of is shaping the Bush vision
The surprising and important ways Bush's faith affects critical presidential decisions
How Bush has outmaneuvered his political opponents and surprised members of the press who have dismissed him as an intellectual bantamweight
How Bush routinely defies conventional wisdom because of his contempt for elite opinion and halfway reforms (small-ball, he calls them)and why he usually wins
George W. Bush billed himself as a different kind of Republican. He has proved to be a different kind of president, too. And Fred Barness riveting behind-the-scenes account helps us understand how much this Rebel-in-Chief is reshaping the world around us.
