Look at the polls today and you might think President Bush
is a failure. The media is relentlessly hostile to him. His
party lost both houses of Congress in the 2006 election. And
yet...and yet, his presidency could be one of the most
important in modern times. George W. Bush not only faced an
unprecedented attack on the American homeland, but he also
responded with an ambitious effort to remake the world¬-an
effort being fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and in smaller
skirmishes around the globe, an effort that for all its
setbacks still might succeed, with revolutionary
consequences. New York Times bestselling author and
acclaimed White House reporter Bill Sammon is a true
insider, and in his new book, The Evangelical President, he
offers a snapshot of the Bush administration from winter
2005 to summer 2007. This momentous time mixed triumph and
disaster-from the triumph of the successful tracking and
killing of Al Qaeda's terrorist mastermind Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi and the spectacularly successful Iraqi elections,
to the disaster of the subsequent unraveling in Iraq and
American voters' repudiation of Bush in the congressional
elections of 2006. But through it all, Sammon shows that
President Bush took the high road, fighting to spread moral
democracy around the world while the low-minded press
focused on Vice President Cheney's accidental shooting of a
friend while hunting and Virginia senator George Allen's use
of the word macaca on the campaign trail. In this
far-reaching book, Sammon details: *Why Bush believes the Republicans will hold the White House
in 2008¬-and his candid assessment of Barack Obama
*Why the Supreme Court's ruling on the partial-birth
abortion ban was a victory and vindication for Bush
*Why Bush is determined to press ahead with his policy in
Iraq, despite his party's loss in Congress
*Why Bush has offered advice to Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton
*How the media has continuously underestimated President
Bush, mocking him for his faith and ignoring his achievements The Evangelical President is an unforgettable glimpse of a
president at war, supported by an evangelical belief that
tyranny should be overthrown, democracy supported, and
America defended, combined with a steely stubbornness to see
those goals through.
