\u00c9tat et d\u00e9tails de cet exemplaire<\/h2>\n

This is the book that cracks the code of the Bush presidency. Unstintingly yet compassionately, and with no political ax to grind, Slate editor in chief Jacob Weisberg methodically and objectively examines the family and circle of advisers who played crucial parts in George W. Bush\u2019s historic downfall.<\/p>\n

In this revealing and defining portrait, Weisberg uncovers the \u201cblack box\u201d from the crash of the Bush presidency. Using in-depth research, revealing analysis, and keen psychological acuity, Weisberg explores the whole Bush story. Distilling all that has been previously written about Bush into a defining portrait, he illuminates the fateful choices and key decisions that led George W., and thereby the country, into its current predicament. Weisberg gives the tragedy a historical and literary frame, comparing Bush not just to previous American leaders, but also to Shakespeare\u2019s Prince Hal, who rises from ne\u2019er-do-well youth to become the warrior king Henry V.<\/p>\n

Here is the bitter and fascinating truth of the early years of the Bush dynasty, with never-before-revealed information about the conflict between the two patriarchs on George W.\u2019s father\u2019s side of the family\u2013the one an upright pillar of the community, the other a rowdy playboy\u2013and how that schism would later shape and twist the younger George Bush; his father, a hero of war, business, and Republican politics whose accomplishments George W. would attempt to copy and whose absences he would resent; his mother, Barbara, who suffered from insecurity, depression, and deep dissatisfaction with her role as housewife; and his younger brother Jeb, seen by his parents as steadier, stronger, and the son most likely to succeed.<\/p>\n

Weisberg also anatomizes the replacement family Bush surrounded himself with in Washington, a group he thought could help him correct the mistakes he felt had destroyed his father\u2019s presidency: Karl Rove, who led Bush astray by pursuing his own historical ambitions and transforming the president into a deeply polarizing figure; Dick Cheney, whose obsessive quest to restore presidential power and protect the country after 9\/11 caused Bush and America to lose the world\u2019s respect; and, finally, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice, who encouraged Bush\u2019s foreign policy illusions and abetted his flight from reality.<\/p>\n

Delving as no other biography has into Bush\u2019s religious beliefs\u2013which are presented as at once opportunistic and sincere\u2013The Bush Tragedy is an essential work that is sure to become a standard reference for any future assessment. It is the most balanced and compelling account of a sitting president ever written.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 de The Bush Tragedy<\/h2>\n

The Bush Tragedy de Jacob Weisberg, r\u00e9dacteur en chef de Slate, examine la famille de George W. Bush ainsi que le cercle de conseillers qui ont jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 dans la chute politique de sa pr\u00e9sidence. L'auteur adopte une approche m\u00e9thodique et objective, sans parti pris politique, et s'appuie sur des recherches approfondies et une analyse psychologique. Il retrace les choix et d\u00e9cisions qui ont conduit George W. Bush et, avec lui, le pays, vers la situation d\u00e9crite par l'auteur. Le livre replace ce parcours dans un cadre historique et litt\u00e9raire, le comparant \u00e0 d'autres dirigeants am\u00e9ricains et au Prince Hal de Shakespeare, devenu le roi Henry V. Il revient aussi sur le conflit entre les deux branches de la famille paternelle, et sur l'influence de son p\u00e8re et de sa m\u00e8re, Barbara, sur le jeune George W. Bush.<\/p>\n
