From the publisher: "This new edition [with 77 more pages] includes new letters and photographs that cover the last fifteen years. The most intimate and revealing look at one of America's most private public figures. Though reticent in public, George Bush has openly shared his private thoughts in his correspondence throughout his life. Fortunately, since the former president does not plan to write his autobiography, this collection of letters, diary entries, and memos, with his accompanying commentary, will fill that void. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George's letters to his parents during World War II, when, at the time he was commissioned, 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 in China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the postpresidency. They will also observe a devoted husband, father, and American. Ranging from a love letter to Barbara and a letter to his mother about missing his daughter Robin after her death from leukemia to a letter to his children two weeks before Nixon's resi-gnation to one written to them just before the beginning of Desert Storm, the writings are remarkable for their candor, humor, and poignancy. As the Bushes continue to emerge as a major political family, this portrait of its unassuming patriarch is timely and important. That George Bush is allowing this much of the collection to be published is remarkable in itself. ALL THE BEST, GEORGE BUSH provides a surprisingly intimate and insightful portrayal of the forty-first president of the United States. As the author writes in his Preface: 'So what we have here are letters from the past and present. Letters that are light and hopefully amusing. Letters written when my heart was heavy or full of joy. Serious letters. Nutty letters. Caring and rejoicing letters. It's all about heartbeat.". Signed by the Author (signature only). Limited Edition #653 of 1000 copies. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. 717pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. …
