Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
George W., this one's for you. In Washington Times correspondent Sammon's inside account of the Bush administration's reaction to 9-11 and the resultant war on terror, readers are tendered a breathless, highly complimentary portrait of the president and an overly simplistic moral tale about the great merit and unwavering moral vision of his inner circle. What could be an extremely interesting if one-sided account is often undercut by Sammon's penchant for editorializing (Bush was "more directly affected than most Americans by the attacks themselves"; Osama bin Laden "giggled" when speaking about the attacks; and the president often "twinkles" when he speaks) and novelizing (Bush "never thought he would be so relieved to see the White House again. He scanned the magnificent curve of the South Portico...He gazed at the Rose Garden"). Nor does Sammon seem to appreciate the irony of quoting some of the president's less eloquent statements, such as: "The role of a president is to seek great objectives for the country, big goals." Sammon, author of the bestselling At Any Cost, largely writes for the converted, so the intended audience for this volume will no doubt love it. Those more skeptical of the government's policies, however, will find his narrative more hagiography than history, and will want to wait for Bob Woodward's forthcoming Bush at War, which covers the same territory from a different angle.

A good read. If you like Bush, you will enjoy this book., October 5, 2002
By 	Paul Jackson (Pleasanton, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism from Inside the Bush White House (Hardcover)
I just read this last night - couldn't put it down.
Sammon has an eye for detail and human interaction.
He is easy to read. This is not a work for the ages;
I doubt it will end up on any college history studies
reading list 20 years from now. But here and now,
it provides a delightfully clear and immediate picture
of some of the key events of this last year.

The book has about 7 chapters, each one focused on
the events of a particular point in time. There's
Bush the evening before the attack. There's Osama
as seen in a couple of videos. There's Bush the
day of the attack, from the point he is told. There's
the retired fireman who stood by Bush when he visited
Ground Zero. There's some Democrat politicos such as
the Rajun Cajun in a couple hour meeting discussing
how the latest polls show weaknesses in Bush -- interrupted
at the end by a cell phone call announcing a plane has
hit the World Trade Center.

A few hits are taken on a couple of reporters from the
liberal media and such. But unlike many books on my
reading shelf, this one is mostly upbeat.

The book is clearly impressed with Bush. If you are amongst
the 20% of this nation that hates him, don't get this book.

a real President has arrived, October 3, 2002
By 	Mark Gierth (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism from Inside the Bush White House (Hardcover)
There was some doubt when G-W was nominated in my mind on what type of a President he would be. Now there is no doubt that he has all it takes to be one of our best. Most great leaders are such in tough times, and it is a matter of "fate" "timing" or just plane luck that the world puts them in a postion to tap into the deepest of their own charicter. President Bush had the charicter needed to do the job that needs to be done when 9-11 happend on his watch over our nation.

After reading this book, I would like to meet him, thank him, and help him with a few weakneses that if eliminated will set him in stone on Mt Rushmore...

The Media and Democratic Strategists Exposed, October 5, 2002
By 	"kedshouse" (Bloomfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism from Inside the Bush White House (Hardcover)
The most important insights from Mr. Sammon relate to the uninformed infantilism of the main-stream media and the abject cynical view of America and its institutions that drive Democratic consultants. Although much of what he writes about President Bush already has been revealed in September 11 anniversary interviews, this book presents more fully and naturally his emotional character and strength but more importantly his decency and class.

Partisan Democrats and pundits will definitely not like this book because their motivation, to gleefully hope for Bush to fail, is there for the reader to see, not from Mr. Sammon's view but from their own words. That they always place their political party above the country, even in a time of crisis, is clearly there for all to read.

Mr. Sammon has captured the media from the vantage point of the viewer. I remembered clearly the press briefings he described; his assessments of them were like reading my thoughts at the time, only censored.

Like the President's prime audience, this book is not directed to the Washington elite, but over their heads: to the people.
