What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Washington’s hottest dinner-party book this autumn.” – The Observer (UK) “Amazing…stunning.” – New York Post “An intimate portrait of a White House racked by more infighting than is commonly portrayed.” – The Washington Post “Draper is no apologist for the administration, and for Bush-bashers there are plenty of nuggets…. But the overall portrait sheds a humanizing light on a much-vilified president.” – Los Angeles Times “A fascinating look at both [the Bush] presidency and his personality.” – Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News “What Draper does with great skill in Dead Certain is debunk caricatures of George Bush, both positive and negative. In place of the dim-witted bogeyman of the left and the resolute hero of the right, Draper introduces a three-dimensional man full of contradictions.” – Salon.com “A fascinating…book. What Dead Certain does very nimbly is give the reader an intimate sense of the president’s personality and how it informs his decision making.” - The New York Times
