Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika hatten bislang 45 Präsidenten. Zweimal sprachen sich US-Amerikaner gar für den Sohn eines ehemaligen Commander-in-chief aus. Bei John Quincy Adams und John Adams war dies ebenso der Fall wie bei George Herbert Walker Bush und George Walker Bush.
Der 43. US-Präsident wartete sodann mit einer persönlichen Biographie über seinen Vater und 41. US-Präsidenten auf. In „41: A Portrait Of My Father“ gibt George W. Bush auf 304 Seiten intime Einblicke in das Leben als Präsidentensohn.
Das etwas andere Portrait über George H.W. Bush als Leseempfehlung zum Abschied eines großen US-Amerikaners.

Die offizielle Buchbeschreibung
George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, has authored a personal biography of his father, George H. W. Bush, the 41st President.
Forty-three men have served as President of the United States. Countless books have been written about them. But never before has a President told the story of his father, another President, through his own eyes and in his own words. A unique and intimate biography, the book covers the entire scope of the elder President Bush’s life and career, including his service in the Pacific during World War II, his pioneering work in the Texas oil business, and his political rise as a Congressman, U.S. Representative to China and the United Nations, CIA Director, Vice President, and President. The book shines new light on both the accomplished statesman and the warm, decent man known best by his family. In addition, George W. Bush discusses his father’s influence on him throughout his own life, from his childhood in West Texas to his early campaign trips with his father, and from his decision to go into politics to his own two-term Presidency.
