Summary: A juvenile biography of George Bush through election night
Comment: Because Mark Sufrin's juvenile biography of George Bush was published in 1989 it ends on election night, months before the 41st President took the oath of office. Consequently, this book is about Bush's path to the White House and "What kind of man" he is rather than about his presidency. Sufrin covers how Bush served his country for over forty years as a navy pilot, businessman, congressman, ambassador, head of the CIA, and Vice President. Sufrin's account is based on autobiographies, writings and commentaries and makes a point of declaring "No part of this biography has been fictionalized." Young readers will learn about how Bush was a war hero, met and married Barbara, and embarked on a public career that found him constantly on the move. Sufrin provides all of the appropriate biographical details and presents a balanced picture of Bush's political career up to that point. This book does not shy away from the criticism Bush faced for being too inexperienced to be Ambassador to the United Nations and picking Dan Quayle as his Vice-President. This book is still appropriate for younger students researching the life of the first Bush to be President, although it will provide no information about his term in the White House. The book also includes eight pages of black & white photographs of his family and career.
