President George H.W. Bush Autographed Book All the Best, 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.
