Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Second printing [stated]. 383, [1] pages. Corners of some pages creased. DJ has an edge tear at the top front. Author's Note. Illustrations. Index. A former FBI investigator and the author of Mindhunter offers a glimpse of some of his most complex cases and demons…trates the way in which criminal profiling works, covering such crimes as John Lennon's assassination, the Waco tragedy, and New York's preppie murder. John Edward Douglas (born 1944 or 1945) is an American retired special agent and unit chief in the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He was one of the first criminal profilers and has written and co-written books on criminal psychology, true crime novels, and his biography. Douglas examined crime scenes and created profiles of the perpetrators, describing their habits and attempting to predict their next moves. In cases where his work helped to capture the criminals, he built strategies for interrogating and prosecuting them as well. Douglas' profile was instrumental in the arrest and conviction of Robert Hansen. Mark Olshaker (born February 28, 1951) is an American author from Washington, D.C. who frequently collaborates with FBI agent John E. Douglas in writing books about criminal and investigative psychology. In 1995, they formed Mindhunters, Inc. and later released Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, which was made into a Netflix series Mindhunter in 2017. New York Times bestselling author of Mindhunter John Douglas reveals more unique cases from his time as head of the FBI's elite Investigative Support Unit. In the #1 New York Times bestseller Mindhunter, John Douglas, who headed the FBI's elite Investigative Support Unit, told the story of his brilliant and terrifying career tracking down some of the most heinous criminals in history. Now, in Journey into Darkness, Douglas profiles vicious serial killers, rapists, and child molesters. He is straightforward, blunt, often irreverent, and outspoken, but takes pains not to glorify any of these murderers. Some of the unique cases Douglas discusses include: -The Clairemont killer; -The schoolgirl murders; -Richmond's First Serial Murderer; -The brutal and sadistic murder of Suzanne Marie Collins; -Polly Klaas' abduction and murder by Richard Allen Davis; and -The tragedy that lead to the creation of Megan's Law. With Journey into Darkness, Douglas provides more than a glimpse into the minds of serial killers; he demonstrates what a powerful weapon behavioral science has become. Profiling criminals helps not only to capture them, but also helps society understand how these predators work and what can be done to prevent them from striking again. Douglas focuses especially on pedophiles and child abductors, fully explaining what drives them, and how to keep children away from them. As he points out, "The best way to protect your children is to know your enemy." He includes eight rules for safety, a list of steps parents can take to prevent child abduction and exploitation, tips on how to detect sexual exploitation, basic rules of safety for children, and a chart, based on age, which details the safety skills children should have to protect themselves. In his review for Mindhunter in The New York Times Book Review, Dean Koontz said, "Because of his insights and the power of the material, he leaves us shaken, gripped by a quiet grief for the innocent victims and anguished by the human condition." Journey into Darkness continues this perilous trip into the psyche of the serial killer, but also offers a glimmer of hope that profiling may enable law enforcement to see the indicators of a serial killer's mind and intervene before he kills, or kills again.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 349, [3] pages. Illustrations. Source notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author (Eleanor Clift) on the title page. Eleanor Clift (born July 7, 1940) is an American political reporter, television pundit, and… author. Clift became White House correspondent for Newsweek and has covered every presidential campaign for the magazine since 1976. She is a contributor to MSNBC and blogger for The Daily Beast. She is a regular panelist on the nationally syndicated show The McLaughlin Group, which she has compared to "a televised food fight". In September 1989, she married Tom Brazaitis, a Washington columnist for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, Ohio. They remained together until his death of kidney cancer on 30 March 2005. Two respected Washington pundits offer a forward-looking history of women in politics -- from envelope-stuffing in the 1960s to the prospect of a woman president in the next decade. In the 1990s, women's influence redefined the nature of politics. Bill Clinton won his elections largely on the strength of women's votes. From journalists Eleanor Clift and Tom Brazaitis comes a story of passion, determination, and triumph. They chronicle women's remarkable progress in chapters such as "A Call to Arms" and "The Rules for Women." From there, the authors examine today's prospects and look ahead in "The Governor Gap," "Hurrying History," and "Women in Waiting," identifying those most likely to have an impact on the future. Highlighting all the key players, from Elizabeth Dole and Dianne Feinstein to Hillary Clinton and Christine Todd Whitman, the book also introduces up-and-comers with superstar potential. And in the prescient "Coda: A How-to for Women," Clift and Brazaitis provide twelve essential tips for women seeking higher office. Certain to spark controversy, "Madam President" is an unrivaled look at the new political world.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 640 pages. DJ is price clipped. Photo of the Reagan and Bush couples together laid in. Includes Glossary of Names, Preface, Timeline, Acknowledgments, and Index. Chapters cover Love and War; "Texas, Our Texas"; Potomac Fever; Internat…ional Waters; The Eye of the Storm; China; Protecting Secrets; "Fire in the Belly"; A Heartbeat Away; The Rough-and-Tumble; The Long Home Stretch; "Mr. President"; On the Front Line; Peaks and Valleys; The Worst of Times; and Looking Forward. Also includes printed signature of the author on the half title page, as well as preface. Derived from a Kirkus review: The former president presents his story in the form of annotated letters, journal entries, a few speeches, and assorted documents. Bush emerges as a decent, thoughtful man. The letters are chronologicalâ"beginning with a section called "Love and War," ending with "Looking Forward"â"and chronicle in surprising detail Bush's life from his 1942 enlistment in the navy to the present. In the letters (and in accompanying notes) are fascinating comments and events. One of the most private presidents since "Silent Cal" Coolidge shares his life in correspondence, diary entries, memos, and other writings, from his letter home as an eighteen-year-old Navy pilot during World War II to one written to his children on the eve of Desert Storm. All the Best: My Life in Letters and Other Writings is a 1999 compilation of his writings by former U.S. President George H. W. Bush. The book is a collection of letters, diary entries, and memos, in the structure of an autobiography. George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 - November 30, 2018) was an American politician and statesman who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. He had previously been a congressman, ambassador, and Director of Central Intelligence. During his career in public service, he was known simply as George Bush, but after his son George W. Bush became the 43rd president in 2001, he was referred to as "George H. W. Bush" or "Bush 41". This collection of letters, diary entries, and memos provide insights into Bush's service during World War II, the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the United Nations, his service in China, his tenure with the C. I. A., and the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency. Though reticent in public, George Bush openly shared his private thoughts in correspondence throughout his life. This collection of letters, diary entries, and memos is the closest we'll ever get to an autobiography. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George's letters to his parents during World War II, when, at the time he was commissioned, he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Readers will gain insights into Bush's career highlightsâ"the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the U.N., his service as an envoy to China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency. They will also observe a devoted husband, father, and American. Ranging from a love letter to Barbara and a letter to his mother about missing his daughter, Robin, after her death from leukemia to a letter to his children two weeks before Nixon's resignation to one written to them just before the beginning of Desert Storm, the writings are remarkable for their candor, humor, and poignancy. All the Best, George Bush provides a memorable, surprisingly intimate, and insightful portrayal of the forty-first president of the United States.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 319, [1] pages. Illustrations. Index. Signed by the author with sentiment on the fep, which reads 2-22-96 Best wishes, Christine Brennan. Stating that figure skating is as brutal and competitive as any athletic discipline, a reporter…examines the big stars of this era, from Oksana Baiul to Elvis Stojko, and reveals the dark side of the sport. Christine Brennan (born May 14, 1958) is a sports columnist for USA Today, a commentator on ABC News, CNN, PBS NewsHour and NPR, and a New York Times best-selling author. She was the first female sports reporter for the Miami Herald in 1981, the first woman at the Washington Post on the Washington Redskins beat in 1985, and the first president of the Association for Women in Sports Media in 1988. Brennan won the 2020 Red Smith Award, presented annually by the Associated Press Sports Editors to a person who has made "major contributions to sports journalism." An inside look at the personalities and circumstances of the world's leading figure skaters. Includes information on Michelle Kwan, Oksana Baiul, and other figure skating stars and competitions. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Washington Post sports reporter Brennan knows all the greats in figure skating--past, present and probably future. So she is superbly qualified to do a book about the sport. And, she counsels, make no mistake: despite all the talk of style and grace, it is nonetheless a competitive sport, but unique in that women are more important than men at the box office and in the officials' offices. Here she follows the season from October 1994 to the Nationals held the following February, concentrating largely on the likely stars of tomorrow. Of course she touches on the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan scandal and the arrest of U.S. champ Nicole Bobek on a burglary charge, but she is less interested in scandal than in showing how a year's work and tens of thousands in parental dollars can be lost by a couple of missteps in a single four-minute program. She demonstrates how the homosexuality of many of the men in the sport is covered up, how quixotic the judging is and how the sport is becoming more like tennis as it attracts younger participants and more high-powered agents. In short, she covers every aspect thoroughly and candidly in this fine volume. Dave Black (Jacket Photography) and Mary Lou Foy ( (illustrator). Signed.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiii, [1], 283, [7] pages. Illustrations. Signed and dated by the author on the title page. Christine Brennan (born May 14, 1958) is a sports columnist for USA Today, a commentator on ABC News, CNN, PBS NewsHour and NPR, and a best-se…lling author. She was the first female sports reporter for the Miami Herald in 1981, the first woman at the Washington Post on the Washington Redskins beat in 1985, and the first president of the Association for Women in Sports Media in 1988. Brennan won the 2020 Red Smith Award, presented annually by the Associated Press Sports Editors to a person who has made "major contributions to sports journalism." Brennan received her master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. After graduating, she began working for the Miami Herald, becoming the Herald's first female sports reporter in 1981. She covered the Miami Hurricanes during their trip to the 1984 Orange Bowl national championship game, after which she wrote her first book, The Miracle of Miami. At the game, she connected with former classmate Michael Wilbon, who recommended her to his Washington Post editors; she joined the Post's sports staff shortly thereafter. She covered the Washington Redskins for three years, then moved on to covering the Olympic Games. She worked for the Post for 12 years before joining USA Today as its national sports columnist in 1997. She has written books on sports, including best-selling Inside Edge, about Olympic figure skating, which was named one of the top 100 sports books of all time by Sports Illustrated in 2002. From the best-known and most widely read woman sports columnist in the United States comes a remarkable memoir of a father and a daughter, the story of a girl who would turn her love for sports into a trailblazing career. Christine Brennan grew up in Toledo, Ohio, spending her summers playing with the boys on her block, memorizing baseball statistics, accompanying her dad to countless baseball and football games, and falling in love with everything about sports. While other girls were playing with Barbie dolls, Chris was collecting baseball cards and listening to the radio for the play-by-play accounts of her favorite teams. The eldest of four children, Chris was her father's daughter from the beginning. For a girl growing up in the 1960s and '70s, in the days before Title IX changed the playing fields of America, there were few opportunities to play organized sports. But Jim Brennan encouraged his daughter to believe she could play anything she wanted to, and when she couldn't be on the field, he was by her side in the stands -- she always thought the seat next to her father was the best seat in the house -- usually cheering for the underdog, and making sure Chris knew there was a place for her in the world of sports. In her warm and inspiring memoir, the first of its kind by a female sports journalist, Brennan takes readers from her neighborhood ball fields to the press boxes and locker rooms of stadiums around the world. Guided by her father's unfailing sense of loyalty, honor, and fairness, at the age of twenty-two she became the first female sportswriter for The Miami Herald, and in 1985 was the first woman to cover the Washington Redskins as a staff writer for The Washington Post. Over the past quarter century, Brennan has reported on many of the biggest stories in sports, and led the coverage of both the 1994 Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan saga and the pairs figure-skating scandal at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics. Her USA Today column on Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, triggered a nationwide debate about the club's lack of female members. Told in the spirited, friendly voice that readers of her column have come to love, Best Seat in the House is the heartwarming chronicle of a girl who came of age as women's sports were coming of age, encouraged every step of the way by her beloved father.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 606, [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Minor ink mark on fep. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads for Hank and Helen Seiden=-via dear Marjory and Mort. with warm wishes and kindest regards…from Phyllis Lee Levin, January 24, 2002. Handwritten card in envelop from Marjorie laid in. The author was Marjorie's sister. Revealing and meticulously researched, the story of Woodrow Wilson and his second wife focuses on the role she played in running the country in the wake of the president's debilitating stroke. Phyllis Lee Levin is the author of several books, including ABIGAIL ADAMS and EDITH AND WOODROW. She has been a reporter, editor and columnist for The New York Times. Derived from a Kirkus review: A carefully researched study of a well-hidden episode in American presidential history. Shortly after the death of his wife Ellen in 1914, newly elected president Woodrow Wilson met and quickly fell in love with society matron Edith Bolling Galt, described as a woman of "opulent figure and commanding air." Edith, who soon married Wilson, made for an unusually diligent First Lady, studying world events and Wilson's own voluminous writing, and familiarizing herself with the intricacies of party politics. Their pillow talk evidently touched on matters of state as much as anything more personal, as when Wilson "discussed with Edith his apprehensions about the serious effects of [William Jennings] Bryan's resignation on the country and on his administration" and the wording of his official remarks on the U-boat sinking of the Lusitania. When, midway through his second term, Wilson suffered a massive stroke, Edith was well up to the task of serving as his proxy-a role that the White House steadfastly denied, insisting that the president was merely unwell, and remained fully in control. Edith kept up her side of the ruse, but, imperious and fiercely loyal, she also managed to alienate politicians already opposed to Wilson's programs, chief among them Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Had Wilson ceded control to the vice president instead of retaining it through his wife, Levin suggests, then he might have been successful in gaining support for the League of Nations instead of enduring a disastrous political defeat. Of much interest to students of political history, and sure to excite discussion in academic circles. Ralph Alswang (Author photograph) (illustrator). Signed.

Index, Signed by the author on the fep. The first comprehensive biography of Madeleine Korbel Albright, this objective yet deeply personal portrait of the first fema…le Secretary of State draws on nearly 200 interviews and exhaustive historical research to tell her story. Ann Blackman is an author and a journalist. Blackman received a diplome from the Sorbonne in 1967 and a B.A. from the University of Connecticut in 1968. Blackman was a news correspondent for more than 30 years. She spent 16 years with Time, joining the magazine in 1985 as deputy bureau chief in the Washington bureau. She also spent three years as a foreign correspondent in Time's Moscow bureau. Before that, Blackman was a reporter for the Associated Press with assignments that included the Watergate hearings, presidential politics, the Iranian hostage crisis and the assassination attempts on Governor George Wallace and President Ronald Reagan. Blackman's books include: Off To Save the World, How One Woman Made A Difference. She is also the author of Seasons Of Her Life, a biography of Madeleine K. Albright, the first women to become U.S. secretary of state; co-author of The Spy Next Door, about the secret life of FBI turncoat Robert Hanssen; and author of Wild Rose, A True Story, about the remarkable life of Civil War spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow, who spied for the South during the American Civil War. Blackman has appeared on TV and radio shows including A&E Biography, Washington Week, CNN, Fox Morning News, and Charlie Rose Show. Derived from a Kirkus review: A serious biography. Blackman, a seasoned journalist, focuses on the life of a public figure. This is a balanced, penetrating look at Albright as a person. Blackman acknowledges Albright's considerable accomplishments without making her into a saint, exposing qualities that have helped her succeed. In Blackman's hands, Albright appears driven and shrewd, talented and caring about others, and above all an expert networker at home in the image-conscious late 20th century. The first Albright biography worth reading. Derived from an article in Publishers Weekly: In the first biography of America's only female secretary of state, Blackman not only tells the life of a Czech refugee who becomes the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. government, but also weaves together three distinct subjects: the turbulent history of Czechoslovakia, the effect of the feminist movement on women of Albright's generation and the foreign policy process in the Carter and Clinton administrations. The daughter of a Czech diplomat, young Madeleine twice fled her native Prague, after the German invasion of 1939 and the Communist coup of 1948. Albright quickly adjusted to her new home in the U.S., graduating from Wellesley in 1959 and marrying publishing heir Joseph Albright. Albright was also an academic and a "Washington lady," serving on boards and hosting dinner parties. After she made a name for herself as the U.S.'s plainspoken, media-savvy ambassador to the UN, Clinton appointed her as secretary of state. She remains one of the most compelling figures in the Clinton administration. Albright herself gave one interview to the author, while many of her friends and associates cooperated as well. Blackman is a skillful reporter who has written a solid, balanced biography. Her subject emerges as strong and determined. Madeleine Jana Korbel Albright (born Marie Jana Körbelová, later Korbelová; May 15, 1937 March 23, 2022) was an American diplomat and political scientist who served as the 64th United States secretary of state under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001. She was the first woman to hold the position. Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Albright immigrated to the United States after the 1948 communist coup d'état when she was eleven years old. Her father, diplomat Josef Korbel, settled the family in Denver, Colorado, and she became a U.S. citizen in 1957. Albright g.

Blackman's books include: Off To Save the World, How One Woman Made A Difference. She is also the author of Seasons Of Her Life, a biography of Madeleine K. Albright, the first women to become U.S. secretary of state; co-author of The Spy Next Door, about the secret life of FBI turncoat Robert Hanssen; and author of Wild Rose, A True Story, about the remarkable life of Civil War spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow, who spied for the South during the Civil War. Blackman has appeared on TV and radio shows including A&E Biography, Washington Week, CNN, Fox Morning News, and Charlie Rose Show. Derived from a Kirkus review: A serious biography. Blackman, a seasoned journalist, focuses on the life of a public figure. This is a balanced, penetrating look at Albright as a person. Blackman acknowledges Albright's considerable accomplishments without making her into a saint, exposing qualities that have helped her succeed. In Blackman's hands, Albright appears driven and shrewd, talented and caring about others, and above all an expert networker at home in the image-conscious late 20th century. The first Albright biography worth reading. Derived from an article in Publishers Weekly: In the first biography of America's only female secretary of state, Blackman not only tells the life of a Czech refugee who becomes the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. government, but also weaves together three distinct subjects: the turbulent history of Czechoslovakia, the effect of the feminist movement on women of Albright's generation and the foreign policy process in the Carter and Clinton administrations. The daughter of a Czech diplomat, young Madeleine twice fled her native Prague, after the German invasion of 1939 and the Communist coup of 1948. Albright quickly adjusted to her new home in the U.S., graduating from Wellesley in 1959 and marrying publishing heir Joseph Albright. Albright was also an academic and a "Washington lady," serving on boards and hosting dinner parties. After she made a name for herself as the U.S.'s plainspoken, media-savvy ambassador to the UN, Clinton appointed her as secretary of state. She remains one of the most compelling figures in the Clinton administration. Albright herself gave one interview to the author, while many of her friends and associates cooperated as well. Blackman is a skillful reporter who has written a solid, balanced biography. Her subject emerges as strong and determined. Madeleine Jana Korbel Albright (born Marie Jana Körbelová, later Korbelová; May 15, 1937 March 23, 2022) was an American diplomat and political scientist who served as the 64th United States secretary of state under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001. She was the first woman to hold the position. Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Albright immigrated to the United States after the 1948 communist coup d'état when she was eleven years old. Her father, diplomat Josef Korbel, settled the family in Denver, Colorado, and she became a U.S. citizen in 1957.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Printing [Stated]. 475, [5] pages. Illustrations. Endnotes. Filmography. Index. The dust jacket has some wear and soiling, especially around the edges. Inscribed by the author on the second fep. The inscription reads: "For Amanda - With great admiration for…what you've accomplished and looking forward to what you do next - With respect & affection Cari Beauchamp April 29, 2001". Draws on personal letters, journals, and interviews with family members and colleagues to capture the life and times of Frances Marion. A biography of Frances Marion, one of the earliest--and for many years the most successful--screenwriters in Hollywood. Cari Beauchamp masterfully combines biography with social and cultural history to examine the lives of Frances Marion and her many female colleagues who shaped filmmaking from 1912 through the 1940s. Frances Marion was Hollywood's highest paid screenwriter--male or female--or almost three decades, wrote almost 200 produced films and won Academy Awards for writing 'The Big House' and 'The Champ. ' Cari Beauchamp is the coauthor of Hollywood on the Riviera (1992). Carol Ann "Cari" Beauchamp (September 12, 1949 December 14, 2023) was an American author, historian, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. She authored the biography Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Power of Women in Hollywood, which was subsequently made into a documentary film. She was the resident scholar of the Mary Pickford Foundation. From an appreciation by Mariana Brandman, found on line. The winner of two Academy Awards, Frances Marion is credited with writing more than 130 produced films during Hollywood's silent and early sound eras. Her female-driven films showcased women's strengths while delighting popular audiences. Marion Benson Owens was born on November 18, 1888 in San Francisco. As a teenager, Marion sold her stories, poems, and artwork to magazines. In 1906, she married her 19-year-old instructor from the Art Institute, Wesley de Lappe. Following the advice of family friend and acclaimed writer Jack London, to "go forth and live" so that she could capture the human spirit in her art, Marion undertook a series of odd jobs such as telephone operator and fruit cannery worker. Between her work and her artistic pursuits, she and de Lappe divorced in 1911. Marion worked as a commercial illustrator and as a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner. Marion married wealthy businessman Robert Pike and in 1912 the couple moved to Los Angeles. Soon, she fell into the orbit of the nascent film industry in Hollywood. Vaudeville star Marie Dressler, whom Marion had interviewed back in San Francisco, became a close friend and introduced her to others in the field. A burgeoning industry that lacked established gender norms, the movies offered an array of opportunities for women. Marion went to work for director Lois Weber and assumed the professional name Frances Marion. Marion was interested in working behind the camera, but took on a variety of duties for Weber: she acted, shifted scenery, wrote press releases, and cut film. She learned on the job how much she loved making movies and became determined to write them. It was silent film star Mary Pickford who gave Marion the opportunity to write for the screen for the Famous Players-Lasky studio (later known as Paramount Pictures). Marion then went to New York to write for World Films, where she rose to head of the scenario department (before screenplays were common, scenarios served as roadmaps for the actors). She became the highest-paid writer in the film business. Marion returned to Los Angeles and resumed her collaboration with Pickford, writing the successful 1917 films Poor Little Rich Girl, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and The Little Princess, and 1918's Stella Maris. The two found a winning formula with Marion writing spirited and irreverent little-girl roles for Pickford. Marion was making $50,000 per year by 1918, but she left it behind to become a war correspondent for the government. S. Judi A Rutz (Author photograph) (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 640 pages. Glossary of Names. Illustrations. Footnotes. Timeline. Index. Signed by George Bush on a George Bush bookplate affixed to fep. Plate signed by George Bush on the title page. One of the most private presidents since "Silent…Cal" Coolidge shares his life in correspondence, diary entries, memos, and other writings, from his letter home as an eighteen-year-old Navy pilot during World War II to one written to his children on the eve of Desert Storm. All the Best: My Life in Letters and Other Writings is a 1999 compilation of his writings by former U.S. President George H. W. Bush. The book is a collection of letters, diary entries, and memos, in the structure of an autobiography. George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 - November 30, 2018) was an American politician and statesman who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. He had previously been a congressman, ambassador, and Director of Central Intelligence. During his career in public service, he was known simply as George Bush, but after his son George W. Bush became the 43rd president in 2001, he was referred to as "George H. W. Bush" or "Bush 41". This collection of letters, diary entries, and memos provide insights into Bush's service during World War II, the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the United Nations, his service in China, his tenure with the C. I. A., and the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency. Though reticent in public, George Bush openly shared his private thoughts in correspondence throughout his life. This collection of letters, diary entries, and memos is the closest we'll ever get to an autobiography. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George's letters to his parents during World War II, when, at the time he was commissioned, he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Readers will gain insights into Bush's career highlightsâ"the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the U.N., his service as an envoy to China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency. They will also observe a devoted husband, father, and American. Ranging from a love letter to Barbara and a letter to his mother about missing his daughter, Robin, after her death from leukemia to a letter to his children two weeks before Nixon's resignation to one written to them just before the beginning of Desert Storm, the writings are remarkable for their candor, humor, and poignancy. All the Best, George Bush provides a memorable, surprisingly intimate, and insightful portrayal of the forty-first president of the United States. Derived from a Kirkus review: The former president presents his autobiography in the form of annotated letters, journal entries, a few speeches, and assorted documents. Like many collections of letters. Bush emerges as a decent, thoughtful manâ"a man who unashamedly espouses the values of hearth, home, and friendship, who was at all times exactly what he appeared to be, who loved his wife, loved his children, loved his country. The letters are chronologicalâ"beginning with a section called "Love and War," ending with "Looking Forward"â"and chronicle in surprising detail Bush's life from his 1942 enlistment in the navy to the present. In the letters (and in his accompanying notes) are some fascinating comments and events. Although Bush hates psychological profiles, he reveals a bit of his inner life here. One must search to find the silver and golden threadsâ"but they are there. Alexanders of Houston (Jacket photograph) (illustrator).
