Jean Edward Smith, "Bush"

http://www.politics-prose.com/book/97...

When George W. Bush decided to invade Iraq, Smith shows in this comprehensive look at the forty-third president, he relied on his deep sense of foreign policy as a battle of good vs evil, and this religious sense of mission outweighed any advice he got from his national security advisors. Later, however, when the financial crisis broke, the president did listen to policy experts. Delving deeply into such telling moments, Smith, author of the Francis Parkman Award-winning FDR as well as authoritative biographies of Grant, John Marshall, and others, gives a fresh and often surprising assessment of a complex leader.
