Book summary

Washington reporter and insider Fred Barnes presents a portrait of President George W. Bush that is at odds with many commonly accepted notions. Barnes says that Bush is definitely an outsider by design and that he is faithful to his campaign promise to change the culture in Washington. He does so, says Barnes, by shunning the deal-making and ignoring the ceremonial, and by acting boldly and decisively in foreign and domestic policy. Barnes goes further, crediting Bush with actually changing the way business is done in that town, and he discerns a canny philosophy behind Bush's presidency, one that believes in strong government. Barnes backs up his thesis with behind-the-scenes accounts that reveal Bush's management style, as well as an interview with his "rebel" subject.
