We Will Prevail: President George W. Bush on War, Terrorism and Freedom

by George W. Bush, Jay Nordlinger

Here are the authorized major speeches and statements by President George W. Bush on the most important issue facing the United States and perhaps the world today: global terrorism.

The book begins with the terrible events of September 11, 2001, and concludes on Memorial Day, May 31, 2003, following the end of the war in Iraq. We Will Prevail is a definitive and timely record of the new foreign-policy doctrines and international direction of the United States since 9/11.

It is inspiring, in the words of praise from President Bush for the people who lost their lives on that day - many in service to others - as well as in the global war on terror. This book is certain to spark controversy and be studied for years to come.

The White House counsel has approved this publication which includes State of the Union addresses from 2002 and 2003 as well as the speech from the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

Reviews

[Dann · Rating 3 out of 5]

From National Review comes We Will Prevail: President George W. Bush on War, Terrorism, and Freedom, a collection of presidential speeches. In one of life’s little ironies George W. Bush, who was mocked for his inelegant speech, would be called on to make some of the most important speeches of the 21st century and shape a new political rhetoric. The speeches begin with his September 11th, 2001 addresses and concluding on Memorial Day 2003; following Bush’s prosecution of the War on Terror and his development of new foreign policy directives. While the speeches can be extremely repetitive, they also are quite reveling about Bush’s understanding of Islamic terrorism and the messages he wanted to convey to the American people about the meaning of September 11th and the new war that America found itself in. We Will Prevail: President George W. Bush on War, Terrorism, and Freedom provides an interesting look into George W. Bush as he rose to meet the challenge of being a wartime president.
