More than seventy-five books attacking George W. Bush have
been published so far. Now, finally, there's a book that
sets the record straight against a backdrop of media bias.
And it's not by a conservative idealogue but by an award-
winning independent reporter who set out to find the real
President Bush behind the two-dimensional public image.
Ronald Kessler was granted unique access to the West Wing
and interviewed the key players of the Bush administration-
from Condoleezza Rice to Karl Rove to the president
himself. Kessler also interviewed Bush's close friends,
college roommates, and former aides. His surprising conclusion: George W. Bush isn't the most
articulate or scholarly president in history, but he scores
very high on the factors that count most: character and
leadership. President Bush has a more clearly defined moral
instinct, management style, and self-awareness than any
other recent president. And without question, President Bush is the driving force
behind his administration, not the pawn of anyone else. In
an age when politicians notoriously hem and haw while
trying to please everyone, he makes deft decisions very
quickly. He is bolstered by his strong Christian faith and
the resolve he gained after giving up alcohol. For many swing voters, this election will boil down to a
matter of character. Kessler's unconventional book-filled
with news hooks about life in the West Wing-will help them
understand the real George W. Bush. And for readers who
already support the president, A Matter of Character is the
book they've been waiting for.
