Books by George W. Bush

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.

Roosevelt under depressionen forsøger at imødegå finansiel panik med ordene: “Det eneste, vi har at frygte, er frygten selv”, og det er her, John F. Kennedy opfordrer sine landsmæd til at gøre en ekstra indsats under den kolde krig med ordene: “Spørg ikke, hvad dit land kan gøre for dig – spørg, hvad du kan gøre for dit land”.Denne bog samler alle den nyere tids tiltrædelsestaler og lægger dermed et unikt snit gennem Amerikas historie fra depressionen og frem og giver et indblik i, hvad der valgperiode for valgperiode har optaget befolkningen og den politiske scene.Bogen indeholder taler af:Franklin D.
