The Quiet Man: The Indispensable Presidency of George H.W. Bush

摘要

For many political figures it has become commonplace to write a memoir soon after leaving public service. It provides them with an opportunity to re-examine their time in government, answer their critics and, often, make observations on what the future holds. What makes The Quiet Man: The Indispensable Presidency of George H.W. Bush by John H Sununu different to most political offerings today is that he is writing about events that took place almost twenty-five years ago. During his three-year tenure as the White House chief of staff (1989-91), Sununu played a key role in many of the critical decisions made by the administration and interestingly, he feels that now is the time to set the record straight on what has been considered by some to be a failed presidency.
