As the controversial presidency of George W. Bush draws to a close, this work provides the first dispassionate, even-handed assessment of Bush's years in office. Widely respected scholar and author Steven E. Schier goes beyond the perspective of contemporary political commentary, and draws on wide-ranging literature about presidential history and strategy to carefully identify both the unique and the familiar aspects of George W. Bush's presidency. "Panorama of a Presidency" examines Bush's innovative electoral and governing strategies, ambitious foreign and domestic policy initiatives, and the bitterly divisive consequences of his mode of governance. As the first analysis to place the George W. Bush presidency in a broad historical and theoretical context, the book will be an essential foundation for any future studies on the topic.

Die Autoren dieser Utopien vereinte ein gemeinsames Ziel: Sie sahen es als ihre Pflicht an, den nachfolgenden Krieg, der ihrer Überzeugung nach früher oder später zwischen den europäischen Großmächten ausbrechen würde, literarisch vorwegzunehmen und seine Ursachen und weitreichenden Folgen zu beschreiben. Der "Gedanke einer Invasion von draußen [entwickelte] einen morbiden Reiz", da England, durch seine Insellage isoliert, von Okkupationen fremder Truppen seit der Eroberung durch William the Conquer...
