Editor's Take:

George W. Bush's presidency was defined by events few could have foreseen when he took office in 2001. The son of a former president, he won one of the closest elections in American history, decided by a few hundred votes in Florida and a Supreme Court ruling. Eight months later, the September 11 attacks transformed his time in office, leading to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that remain hotly debated. At home he pushed through tax cuts and major education reform, and later faced the start of the 2008 financial crisis. Since leaving the White House he has kept a low political profile, focusing on his presidential centre and veterans' causes.
