Dead Certain

Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush is Robert Draper's inside look at the White House during the Bush administration.

In Dead Certain, Draper describes life inside the White House over the last eight years under the controversial Bush Administration. Draper was given direct access to both the President and his staff and the book is filled with interviews, anecdotes and actual dialogue from administration officials.

• "While there are many aspects of the Bush presidency that Mr. Draper completely neglects there is almost nothing here about executive power, interrogation policy or the treatment of detainees—what Dead Certain does do and does very nimbly is give the reader an intimate sense of the president's personality and how it informs his decision making." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
