My Years in The White House: Vol. 1: The White House Years.

By George W. Bush (with Larry King).

In this eagerly awaited account of his years in the White House, George Bush takes us behind the scenes and tells us how he coined such memorable phrases as “The War on Terror”, “Mission Accomplished” and “Don’t Mess with Texas”. We also get to accompany the President as he gathers brush wood on his Crawford ranch and listen, spellbound, while Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney devise American foreign policy in his presence.

Was Bush a better president than his father? Was he the model for Alfred E. Neuman’s Mad Magazine? In what sense can he be said to have projected American power throughout the known world? Did he actually see Vladimir Putin’s soul? If you want to know the answers to these and other questions, you will have to wait for the second volume of his memoirs, due out later this year and entitled The Pleasure of Your Company.
