Summary: An Intimate Description of a Fascinating Life
Comment: These letters serve as a wonderfully personal account of a man who is clearly dedicated to his family and public service. If anything, it is clear that the former is more important than the latter when one reads this volume. I should stress that this praise is made by someone who actively worked for President Bush's defeat and has no desire to see his son in the White House. Yet in reading this book, it is impossible not to have respect for the former President. While in one sense the lack of vision that he was often criticized for is apparent, it is also clear that his vision of public service as a means of making America a better place comes through clearly. As the letters take the reader from the South Pacific and Texas to Congress and the UN to China and the CIA and finally the White House, the reader sees a man acting to protect and improve America as he sees most fit. At the same time, a very humorous side of Mr. Bush is readily apparent. If you want a definitive biography of George Bush, this is not it; if you want some deep interpretation of his political philosophy, you will not find it here (if it really exists at all); but if you want to better understand the man and understand a man who shows that the noble vision of public service does still exist, READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: The best dad to occupy the White House since Teddy Roosevelt
Comment: My patriotism had wilted over the past two years following political scandals, but reading Mr. Bush's book has restored some of my optimism. Here is a man who is not afraid to meet problems head on as evidenced by his many letters to foreign leaders. At the same time, he never lost a grip on what was really important, a theme he reiterates: family, friends and faith. Not since the great Theodore Roosevelt has a presidential dad loved his wife and children with as much enthusiasm and expression. I dare say Mr. Bush may have written as many letters as the prolific TR! I loved the touching letters he wrote in the last days of his presidency. George Bush is a truly decent man.

Summary: as a bush fan...
Comment: .... you may want to look for another book. this one is full of "corrections" of what the actual man himself said. parts about family money made off the holocaust have been edited out, unfortunately. specifically in some letters addressed to leslie baukerberg (his life-long accountant) and tina goethe (his admitted former girlfriend) who both had invested in a brilliant stock some of that same money that granted him the ability to pay off campgain debts! as a fan of bush sr's work in the white house i was shocked to see these glaring omissions from letters i had previously read via the internet. perhaps the best book for this subject is the less-heavily-edited "sons of tommorrows sunshine" compiled by son jeb bush and the late author benjamin kowlestein will guide you more in the history of this man and his family.
