The President of Good and Evil Taking George W. Bush Seriously

George W. Bush talks constantly about ethics and values ? in starkest terms, about good and evil. It is the hallmark of his presidency and impossible to ignore. This book is an attempt to hold the policies of George W. Bush, and his actions as president, up to an ethical standard, including his own. But it goes beyond that: it is also a study in a distinctively American ethic, for there are many features of his ethic that are not widely held elsewhere in the developed world. Peter Singer's penetrating examination of Bush's ethics asks whether they are anything more than self-serving ? a vitally important question, since the actions which follow the rhetoric affect the lives of everyone on the planet.
