W. Bush administration, its composition, and its decision-making processes. The only one-term president since 1981, Bush faced a pivotal moment in history: a transition to governing in a post-Cold War era; and growing intra-party splits within a Republican Party upset with a budget compromise that raised taxes yet contributed to an historic surplus within a decade. 41 provides a valuable perspective into the intense polarization in Washington today. -Janet M.

The integration of new oral histories into the analysis throughout this book demonstrates that these oral histories will be a highly useful source for further scholarship. -Thomas Langston, Tulane University, author of The Cold War Presidency: A Documentary History The presidency of George H.
