Book Review on either Lyndon B. Johnson, H. W. Bush, or George W. Bush

In your review, you must answer to or discuss these questions: (1) Critically analyze some of the most important achievements of the president, and explain why these are important; (2) Critically analyze some of the most important failures during his term(s) and why you judged them as failures; (3) After surveying his personal/political life, what could have been done better, if you had been in his situation?; (4) After all, do you think he was a successful president? Why or why not?

Your review must have an essay structure: Title, Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. Do not use any secondary source for this book review assignment. To support your analysis, you must quote (not merely cite) at least three passages from the book. All quoted passages should also be cited, indicating the author’s last name and a page number in parentheses. For example: (Bush, 123). You do not need to make a separate “Work Cited” page.

Your book review must be submitted in a MS word file format. Double-space, 1 inch margin all sides, 12-point Times New Roman. The violation of this format will cost you a 10% penalty
