1999
George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) was the forty-first President of
the United States, serving from 1989 to 1993. Before his presidency, Bush was
the forty-third Vice President of the United States in the administration of
Ronald Reagan. He also served as the member of the United States House of
Representatives for the 7th district of Texas (1967–1971), the United States
Ambassador to the United Nations (1971–1973), Chairman of the Republican
National Committee (1973–1974), Chief of the United States Liaison Office in the
People's Republic of China (1974–1976) and Director of Central Intelligence
(1976–1977). Bush is the son of Prescott Bush, who served in the United States
Senate from 1953 to 1963, and Dorothy Walker Bush. He is the father of George W.
Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, and Jeb Bush, the 43rd Governor
of Florida. With the passing of Gerald Ford in 2006, he became the oldest living
United States president.
“The most intimate and revealing look at one of America's most private public
figures. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old
George's letters to his parents during World War II when he served as the
youngest Navy pilot in United States history. Readers will not only gain
insights into Bush's career highlights - the oil business, his two terms in
Congress, his service as an envoy in China - but will also observe a portrait of
a devoted husband, father and American. Through reticent in public, George
Bush has openly shared himself in his private correspondence throughout his
entire life. Organized chronologically, this volume contains Bush's letters,
diary entries and memos - with his commentary - constituting a portrait of the
former president that should suffice nicely until such time as he chooses to
write his autobiography.” - Publisher’s note.
Autographed bookplate. Book includes 50 photographs and white paper sleeve with
Presidential Library and Museum seal.
