Every week, President Bush�s top strategists gather in the
West Wing office of Karl Rove to plot what they wryly call
"strategery." The word was coined by comic Will Ferrell in a
Saturday Night Live skit that portrayed George W. Bush as an
endearing dimwit. Far from being offended, the president�s
men adopted the term as a sort of ironic inside joke. In
fact, they laughed all the way to reelection. Strategery is
the behind-the-scenes story of that hard-fought election and
the tumultuous year that followed. Strategery chronicles the
perpetually "misunderestimated" president as he vanquishes
John Kerry and then embarks on a breathtakingly audacious
second-term agenda. He vows to rein in the judicial activism
of a runaway Supreme Court, defeat the "Bush haters" who
blame him for Hurricane Katrina, and, in his spare time, end
tyranny around the globe. Strategery is a remarkably vivid
portrait of the president as he is seldom seen. In one
chapter we find him bloodied and flat on his back in the
Texas dirt, having tumbled from his beloved mountain bike,
now splayed across his chest. In another he single-handedly
rescues his own Secret Service agent from a scrum of hostile
Chilean bodyguards. In a third we watch Karl Rove being
chased from room to room in his own house by a mob of angry
protesters who pound on the windows and reduce his terrified
family to tears. Strategery is the third installment in a
multi-volume set of New York Times bestsellers chronicling
this unlikely yet historic presidency, written with verve
and piercing insight by Bill Sammon, who has been granted
unprecedented access to President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, Karl Rove, and other senior White House officials.
