Fortunately, since former Pres. George Bush does not plan to write his autobiography, this collection of letters, diary entries, & memos, with his accompanying commentary, will fill that void. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with 18-year-old George's letters to his parents during WW2, when he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Readers will gain insights into Bush's career highlights -- the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the U.N., his service as an envoy to China, his tenure with the CIA, &, of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, & the post-presidency. The writings are remarkable for their candor, humor, & poignancy. Photos.
