'Man in the Middle' has message for ambitious

Don’t pick up a copy of Timothy S. Goeglein’s “Man in the Middle: An inside account of faith and politics in the George W. Bush era” expecting to find any earth-shattering new revelations about “the decider-in-chief’s” White House.

Though he was recruited for the Bush campaign in 2000 by none other than Karl Rove, Goeglein was not, by his own description, part of the innermost circle of advisors and strategists who took the Texas governor from Austin to the Oval Office, with an unexpected and drastically extended detour in Florida along the way.
