Product Information

The New York Times BestsellerPraise for Bush’s Brain"Love him or hate him, Karl Rove is one of the most brilliant and successful political consultants of all time. In this riveting account, Wayne Slater and Jim Moore tell how he got there."–Paul Begala, CNN’s Crossfire "If you want to understand the President’s underlying motives, read the new book on his guru, Karl Rove, Bush’s Brain."–Al Hunt, The Wall Street Journal"Bush’s Brain, by James Moore and Wayne Slater, two experienced Texas reporters who have covered the pair for many years, has fresh information about Rove’s influence on Bush . . . Moore and Slater think that Rove is a dangerous man, but their book is not biased or malicious, based as it is in solid reporting."–The New York Review of Books"Bush’s Brain isn’t a hatchet job on George W. Bush. In fact, the two authors largely dispel the myth of Bush’s supposedly deficient IQ. But, more importantly, they lay bare the story of how Karl Rove may be the most powerful man in America. It’s a compelling story told by two veteran Texas journalists who don’t need a briefing packet to understand the men they’re writing about."–Philip Bruce, KCET/PBS Television, Los Angeles

Reviews
"The second, and more substantial, of the recent books about Bush's longtime political partner, Karl Rove." (Austin American Statesman) "Should force questions about having a win-at-all-costs political operative shaping White House policy as our nation moves toward war over the world's protests." (Austin American Statesman) "Bush's Brain is also attracting attention for its stark claim that Rove has become America's "co-president"." (The London Times) "If you want to understand the president's underlying motives, read the new book on his guru, Karl Rove, Bush's Brain. Penned by two crack Texas reporters, it discloses that in 1994 Mr. Rove, a hired gun for Philip Morris, persuaded the gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush to make tort reform a priority." (The Wall Street Journal, March 6, 2003), "If you want to understand the president's underlying motives, read the new book on his guru, Karl Rove, Bush's Brain. Penned by two crack Texas reporters, it discloses that in 1994 Mr. Rove, a hired gun for Philip Morris, persuaded the gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush to make tort reform a priority."

Interesting Look At The Pre Washington George W Bush
This book describes how Karl Rove became a power broker in Texas politics while positioning W to run for President. It is written by Texas journalists who covered the Lone Star State at the time. The book would only be two thirds the size if all the redundant material were excluded. The conclusion reached is that Bush was merely the vehicle that Rove used to gain and use tremendous power during the Bush administration. For younger readers who believe Rove is a commentator on Fox News, this book provides excellent background information.
