Download My Father, My President: A Personal Account of the Life of George H. W. Bush AudioBook Free
When George H. W. Bush asked Doro to create this memoir, she approached hundreds of his friends and associates; conducted scores of interviews with dignitaries including Monthly bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Standard Colin Powell; tapped the memories of family members, including her mother, her four brothers, and undoubtedly, her dad himself; and accumulated information from the former president's never-before-released files. Now for the first time, a complete portrait of George H. W. Bush emerges. Doro discloses her dad as a man courting his future wife, Barbara, and how the death of these first daughter brought them better. Doro tells how they brought up five children through much of her father's long and storied job in public service, and offers details about his tenures as brain of the Republication National Committee during Watergate, ambassador to the U.N., America's liaison to China, and vice leader for eight years under Ronald Reagan. Doro also provides an insider's check out how the 41st president handled crises and troubles, all while keeping his laughter and personality intact, and how he still will so while aiding patients of the 2004 tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. She shows how he felt when two of his sons inserted politics - and when his eldest managed to get to the most notable - and sheds new light on his companionship with former rival Monthly bill Clinton.
