In "All the Best, George Bush," the intimate world of one of America's more enigmatic leaders is unfurled through the very words he penned across the decades. This collection, ranging from the earnest letter of an eighteen-year-old Navy pilot in World War II to the reflective notes dispatched on the eve of Desert Storm, offers a rare window into the personal and political life of George H.W. Bush. Through a mosaic of correspondence, diary entries, and memos, Bush's voice emerges, revealing the convictions and doubts, the humor and sorrow, that threaded through his presidency and beyond. This book is not just a historical document but a passage into the heart and mind of a man who navigated the highest corridors of power with unwavering humanity. Readers are invited to traverse the landscapes of a remarkable life: the joys of a loving family, the solitude of decision-making at critical junctures, and the resilience in the face of global challenges. "All the Best, George Bush" is a testament to a lifetime of service, a reflection of a bygone era of political civility, and a profound example of leadership with dignity, grace, and a sense of humor.

Fucking amazing. - Carlos Slim
...My advice to young people might be as follows:1. Don't get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and often success.2. Don't blame others for your setbacks.3. When things go well, always give credit to others.4. Don't talk all the time. Listen to your friends and mentors and learn from them.5. Don't brag about yourself. Let others point out your virtues, your strong points.6. Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting, show that friend you care.7. Nobody likes an overbearing big shot.8. As you succeed, be kind to people. Thank those who help you along the way.9. Don't be afraid to shed a tear when your heart is broken because a friend is hurting.10. Say your prayers!!
