Bush, but moreso because I've recently discovered Frank Bruni. He's an excellent writer, and in this book, recounts his time on the 2000 presidential campaign trail with then-candidate Bush. His insights and observations concerning Bush, Laura, and the extended family give one food for thought. His 'insider look' at how journalists behave during campaigns, particularly how they create controversy out of thin air just by being a horde of journalists swarmiing about a candidate is also thought-provoking. ( ) This book really bothered me. I saw the author speak and he seemed humble and dedicated. But, as is clear today, he missed almost everything important about George W. Bush. He focused on some quirks and whether George Bush was intelligent. Is that all he can say after trailing him for a year? There is nothing here to indicate how ruthless Bush would become, and how willingly he would break the law, place awful people in major offices, or anything about the neocon philosophy that came out later. You can put it to hindsight, although it was published after 9/11. I wonder. The author never acknowledges he is "Sancho", Bush's favorite journalist on the campaign trail. This lack of disclosure makes me believe Bruni intentionally tried to make Bush seem milder than what he really knew. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The unlikely Odyssey of George W. Bush. As the principal New York Times reporter assigned to cover George W. Bush's presidential campaign from its earliest stages - and then as a White House correspondent - Frank Bruni has spent as much time around Bush over the last two years as any other reporter. In Ambling Into History, Bruni paints the most thorough, balanced, eloquent and lively portrait yet of a man in many ways ill-suited to the office he sought and won, focusing on small moments that often escaped the news media's notice. From the author's initial introduction to Bush through a nutty election night and Bush's first months in office, Bruni captures the president's familiar and less familiar oddities and takes readers on an often funny, usually irreverent, journey into the strange, closed universe - or bubble - of campaign life. The result is an original take on the political process and a detailed study of George W. Bush as most people have never seen him. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
