 Tagline: A Life Misunderestimated.
A Yale graduate, a transplanted son of Texas, a onetime drunk, a recent convert, George W. Bush was many things but, fundamentally, he was a baseball fan. He always appreciated the elegance of baseball and certainly respected the game's doubleheaded elements of luck and skill. Had things gone differently, he would have parlayed his co-ownership of the Texas Rangers into the post of baseball commissioner. Alas, he had to settle for another job: President of the United States.
How did this improbable person transform himself from reprobate and well-known black sheep of his esteemed family to Leader of the Free World? “W.” is the story of George W. Bush; a man who struggled all his life with his personal demons, wrestling with them in his father's long shadow. Essentially a failure until the age of 40, he found God and made an incredible turnaround. Ultimately, this led him to the White House, like his father before him. Yet even this did not entirely win him the favor of George Sr.
Some will argue George W. Bush succeeded; some will maintain he squandered his opportunity. Contention is a part of his legacy. “W.” follows his journey from Yale frat house to Texas oil field to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and in the process, reveals the man who would become the 42nd President of the United States - his struggles, his achievements and consequences of both.
