About the Book
George W. Bush ran for office promising to continue what conservative icon Ronald Reagan started, and two years into his first term, Bush was still being described as “Reagan’s son.” Today, with the Iraq War spinning out of control and the Democrats in charge of Congress, Republicans and the conservative movement have all but abandoned George W. Bush. What happened? In Reagan’s Disciple, two widely respected reporter/historians describe the essence of the 40th and the 43rd presidencies, and compare them to shed new light on the history of the past three decades. As Americans look toward choosing a new leader in 2008, Reagan’s Disciple will serve as an instructive tale for Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike. Read more
“Leading Reagan biographer Cannon (Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power, 2003, etc.) teams with son Carl (The Pursuit of Happiness in Times of War, 2003, etc.) to measure George W. Bush against the Gipper’s formidable shadow… Impossible for admirers of the current president to dismiss, the Cannons’ detailed reporting, fluid style and mature judgment will particularly delight Bush’s many critics.” —Kirkus Reviews
