Book description
Praise 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
"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
The most powerful individual in the United States may not be George
W. Bush. It is probably Karl Rove, the President's brilliant advisor.
Who is this man and how did he acquire so much power? Having watched
in awe for over fifteen years as they reported on the rise of Karl
Rove, Moore and Slater expose the brutal and sometimes morally
questionable, but invariably effective ways in which Karl Rove?and
America's political system-actually operate.
