Description

“This history of the Bush School of Government and Public Service is the inspiring story of a handful of dedicated faculty, staff, and administrators building a nationally recognized institution from the ground up. From overcoming significant cultural, financial, and political challenges to developing a program with partnerships throughout Texas A&M University, the state of Texas, and the entire country, it is a story of perseverance, dedication, talent, and striving for excellence.  And a lot of fun along the way.”—Robert M. Gates, former CIA director, former secretary of defense, former president of TAMU, and former interim dean of the Bush School of Government and Public Service

“This book is a wonderful review of the school from its beginning and pays tribute to the uniqueness of its namesake. President Bush’s legacy will breathe and live through the lives of the students influenced by Professor Hermann.”—Don Powell, former chair of the Texas A&M Board of Regents
