"Working within a pragmatic and flexible framework, this volume's contributors demonstrate an admirable mixture of daring and restraint as they expertly analyze the uncommonly consequential presidency of George W. Bush. The result is a timely and evenhanded book that sets the standard for presidential retrospectives." - Thomas S. Langston, Tulane University "It surely is much too early to know whether George W. Bush will share company with the great, good, nearly forgotten, or generally reviled past presidencies. But these balanced essays do an admirable job of jump starting the conversation about the historical significance of a leader who held office when the terrorists struck home, the oceans demolished a great American city, two wars raged abroad, and, in the waning hours, our economy collapsed." - William G. Howell, University of Chicago "Covering every major dimension of Bush's performance in the White House, Judging Bush will be an indispensable source on this most consequential presidency for years to come." - Paul J. Quirk, University of British Columbia "More than 20 contributors, most academics, some with executive branch experience, evaluate Bush's competences as revealed by war, foreign policy, response to Hurricane Katrina, and other challenges... Recommended." - P. Lermack, Choice
