Plot

In a bipolar world, the president's power to begin a war was balanced by the nuclear deterrent. But in the glasnost era, what restrains his trigger finger? In Smith's opinion, nothing at all. In a textual analysis of who did what to whom and when, George Bush's War shows a president using diplomatic channels and the media in pursuit of a war that need not have been fought.
