Former NBC writer and producer James Gannon follows the creation of the policies that resulted in key failings of Bush's administration, such as the barbaric torture of detainees, the overt upper-class economic favoritism, and the censorship of climate science, presenting each with the clear, articulate language of a journalist and scholar. Gannon presents a compelling fact-based case against the President's policies, instead of focusing on the man. If we learn from this factual history, we will not be doomed to repeat The Reckless Presidency of George W. Bush.
