- Summary:
- In this political memoir, the governor of Texas and front-runner for president in the year 2000 tells us who he is and what he stands for. He addresses the questions that may well decide who becomes the next president: crime, education, abortion, tax reform, and the continuing battle "for the soul" of the Republican Party. Will George W. Bush become the next president of the United States? "A Charge to Keep" will help the American public decide.
