Insightful submitted by neit on August 31, 2015, 10:41am This book gives the reader a good view of the elder Bush from his son's point of view. Of course, with it being written by his son, it is extremely glowing. However, it also shows the strong, loving bond and admiration there is for George H.W. Bush. It is an interesting look of the different facets of the 41st President. Enjoyed it!
