"Without Karl Rove, there would be no President George
W. Bush. Rove is co-president of the United
States." --From the Introduction
Behind every successful politician lies a group of
fiercely loyal individuals who help make the dream of
holding public office become a reality. In President George
W. Bush's case, one person has always stood above the rest.
His name is Karl Rove. Dubbed "the man with the plan" by the
President himself, White House Senior Advisor Karl Rove
helped develop the political career of George W. Bush and
continues to be a guiding force within the current Bush
White House. But who is Karl Rove and how did he acquire
such power and influence?
Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush
Presidential is the first in-depth examination of Rove's
remarkable political journey, as well as a straightforward
narrative of the key role he has played in George W. Bush's
rise to the top. Equal parts biography and history of late
twentieth-century politics, this fascinating book pieces
together the puzzle of Rove's extraordinary political life
through personal interviews with Rove himself as well as
revealing stories from friends and foes alike. Veteran
political journalists James Moore and Wayne Slater take you
on a fast-paced ride that uncovers both the masterful skills
and secret machinations of the President's chief political
strategist. You'll gain the inside story on how Rove:
- Destroyed the careers of people who opposed his
ideas and his candidates
- Planned "secret" classes to teach George W. Bush
how government works
- Ran brutal yet brilliant campaigns that eventually
swept Bush into the White House
- Impacted the midterm elections of 2002
- Exerts his influence in virtually every
presidential decision--whether it involves steel import
tariffs or extending the war on terrorism
Karl Rove is both feared and admired by Republicans and
Democrats alike. In the fullness of his accomplishments,
Rove has raised a new and disturbing question for American
voters and their republic: Who really runs this country? In
Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush
Presidential, you'll enter a world of power and politics
where few dare to venture--and leave with a better
understanding of how much power Karl Rove really has.
