Reviews

A great read, packed with details and full of insight. The method of evaluating Bush's performance was sophisticated, balanced and thoroughly readable. This will be the definitive study of the Bush era in Florida. Outstanding! -- Lance DeHaven Smith A critical, probing review of an administration that had little appetite for criticism and public oversight. -- Troy Kinsey Son of one president, brother of another. When the seeds of ambition in Jeb Bush begin to sprout, Robert Crew's book is the one you'll want at hand. He provides an in-depth look at the Bush family legacy, Jeb's values and how he applied them while governing Florida-who prospered and who did not. If you want to know what Jeb Bush might be like as president, Crew's deeply researched, authoritative book is the best place to start. -- Ken Bode

A critical, probing review of an administration that had little appetite for criticism and public oversight.--Troy Kinsey
