Bush Book Announced (and other upcoming reads)
In an entry in this community dated December 30, 2012, I listed my proposed 
potus_geeks Reading List of 2013 and mentioned that there was a new, as yet unnamed, book about George W. Bush that was due out in 2013, written by New York Times columnist Peter Baker. The book and its release date have now been announced. The book will be titled Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House. It is scheduled to go on sale on October 22, 2013 and is listed as being 688 pages.
I have been unable to find a publisher's description or any other anticipated summary of this book either on the author's webpage or the publisher's, or anywhere else for that matter. I will keep looking and update you when I find something out.
