My Father, My President
A Personal Account of the Life of George H.W. Bush
by Doro Bush Koch
Read by Doro Bush Koch
Only one woman could write this historical
account of the life of our forty-first president, George Herbert
Walker Bush, his daughter Doro Bush Koch. Ms. Koch has an important
place in women's history in the United States; she is the only woman
to be daughter of a living president and at the same time, sister
to a living president.
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. |
