The Bush Tragedy by Jacob Weisberg

‘The Bush Tragedy is political drama, family history and psychological insight in dazzling combinationIf you read one book about George W. Bush and his presidency, this should be it' * Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink *
‘Precisely because he does not think George W. Bush is a joke, Jacob Weisberg has been able to write a very witty and deeply penetrating profile of him' * Christopher Hitchens *
‘The epic failure of the Bush Administration is a story for the ages and Jacob Weisberg - with a clever assist from William Shakespeare - has written a scorching, powerful and entirely plausible account of this perverse family saga. Not only that - it's a beautifully written and erudite book, hilarious at times, a joy to read' * Joe Klein, author of Primary Colors *
