Description

This book paints 11 different portraits of the many "faces" of President George W.

Bush, arguably the most controversial and fascinating modern American president, revealing the malleability of human motives and of Bush's motives in particular. George W. Bush's presidency was marred by some of the worst events in modern U.S. history: the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, the events of September 11, 2001; the quagmire of the war in Iraq; widespread fear of terrorism; Hurricane Katrina and the government's delayed, inefficient response; and the Patriot Act, which greatly increased the government's ability to access citizens' private information.

Which of Bush's characteristics, influences, or internal motivations were most responsible for this polarizing President's attitudes and decisions?This book presents 11 competing views of President George W.

Bush. The Chameleon President: The Curious Case of George W.

Bush does not endorse a particular view of Bush; it is up to the reader to decide which portrayal best explains the 43rd president's surprisingly complex character as well as his political legacy.

The author synthesizes popular claims from various sources to provide possible explanations for Bush's seemingly contradictory characteristics.

Examples of the influences considered include his intelligence, immaturity, and religious beliefs; his upbringing in West Texas; his misfortune to have been in charge during a terrorist attack and a rare natural disaster; his vice president; and his unstated agendas—political, business, and family-driven.
