Who is George W. Bush from the nonfiction book, The Afghanistan Papers?

George W. Bush was the forty-third President of the United States. He was elected to serve two terms from 2001 to 2009. His first electoral victory against Vice President Al Gore was extremely close in the electoral college and was contested in a recount through the Florida Supreme Court. Electoral irregularities in the state Florida, where his brother Jeb Bush was governor, led some commentators to suggest the election was stolen for Bush. Before being elected to the presidency Bush was the forty-sixth governor of Texas 1995 to 2000. Prior to that he was the President of the Dallas Texans Baseball team.
