As president her oversaw the end of the Cold War and helped liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's forces. As the US Liaison to China he held tenure during communist rule under Mao and as Ambassador to the United Nations he forged relations around the world. From his days as a young Texas congressman to witnessing his son become the current president, George H W Bush has played a major role on the world stage for decades and continues to do so as an elder statesman. Now, using events from his life, the former president's daughter examines how her father confronted challenges, responded to crises and how he kept his humour and personality through it all. This extraordinary memoir will contain contributions from other members of the Bush family as well as from numerous luminaries and world leaders, inlcuding Bill Clinton, Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkoft among others. It reveals his friendship with Bill Clinton as well as his family's opinions about the two of them.
