Shortly after George W. Bush's presidency ended, senior advisors began recording confidential oral history interviews with the nonpartisan scholars of the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs--with the promise that they would not be released until several years had passed. Among those behind-the-scenes stories, published here for the first time, are the recollections of some of the administration's most powerful figures and key players, such as Karl Rove, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleezza Rice. Together, their stories trace Bush's elevation from Texas governor to the presidency and show how his priorities were transformed by the September 11th attacks.
