BOY GENIUS

In Boy Genius, two seasoned political reporters who know Rove from his many, fruitfully manipulative years as a political consultant in Texas, fill readers in on the man and his methods. From running a dirty tricks school and bugging his own office, to masterminding the defeat of popular Governor Ann Richards in Texas, to seeing and harnessing the potential in George W. Bush (“Political hacks like me wait a lifetime for a guy like this to come along,” Rove said of the future President), to the master plan for the 2002 elections, Dubose and Reid detail Rove’s ascendancy to the top of our national political life, illuminating along the way both the dirty underside of politics and Rove’s vision for who should be governing our country and how.
Boy Genius is a fascinating, entertaining look at the political life of the Man Who Would Be Kingmaker — and a disconcerting expose about exactly how American politics works.
