A propos de cet article

George W., this one's for you. In Washington Times correspondent Sammon's inside account of the Bush administration's reaction to 9-11 and the resultant war on terror, readers are tendered a breathless, highly complimentary portrait of the president and an overly simplistic moral tale about the great merit and unwavering moral vision of his inner circle. What could be an extremely interesting if one-sided account is often undercut by Sammon's penchant for editorializing (Bush was more directly affected than most Americans by the attacks themselves; Osama bin Laden giggled when speaking about the attacks; and the president often twinkles when he speaks) and novelizing (Bush never thought he would be so relieved to see the White House again. He scanned the magnificent curve of the South Portico.He gazed at the Rose Garden). Nor does Sammon seem to appreciate the irony of quoting some of the president's less eloquent statements, such as: The role of a president is to seek great objectives for the country, big goals. Sammon, author of the bestselling At Any Cost, largely writes for the converted, so the intended audience for this volume will no doubt love it. Those more skeptical of the government's policies, however, will find his narrative more hagiography than history, and will want to wait for Bob Woodward's forthcoming Bush at War, which covers the same territory from a different angle.…
