Book Reviews of Quest for the Presidency 1992
Book Review: Couldn't Put It Down!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, I'm not going to deny that I'm a political junkie, and have re-read Teddy White's books on the Making of the President several times, but this is actually, to my mind, a superior book. It's certainly written in a much more interesting and accessible manner.
The most interesting sections of the book, to me, were those that dealt with Ross Perot. I was one of the many who, at the time, was infatuated with the idea of the Saviour from Texas. Unfortunately, the very things that made him so interesting to so many people also held the seeds of his demise in 92.
Surprisingly, to me at least, one person who seems to come out of the book surprisingly well, is Dan Quayle. While not a genius, he is shown in a much better light than you would have expected given the brutal press coverage he received from 1988 on.
All in all, I would heartily recommend this book to anybody who has an interest in the way we chose our Presidents, and what we put them through on the road to the White House.
