Bush "41" deferred to his daughter’s perspective as she gathered the memories and details of a life filled with power, loss, love and a respect for others that only this up-close-and-personal audio book could tell in Ms. Koch's own voice. Beginning with a moving forward by Barbara Bush, this book is of interest to anyone who wants to understand a man who has affected the history of business, politics, his time and the world.

This book is filled with reflections on the author's father in many situations that tested his mettle and stoic upbringing, from Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Colin Powell, and Norman Schwarzkopf. Bush's personal papers, files and first-hand accounts by many who touched him, are the resource that allows listeners to hear for the first time the back story of a man who took us into a war we still fight today. Red or blue state aside, this six-hour recounting will put you in a place to see what makes George Hubert Walker Bush tick. Doro Bush Koch, long a background figure in this very foreground American family, rises to the occasion of laying the historical foundation of a political dynasty.
