A groundbreaking look at the lives of George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, the most consequential father-son pair in American history, often in their own words.

A historian's revealing and intimate portrait of George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush that explores their relationship as presidents and as father and son - the first major biographical treatment of these two consequential presidents and figures in American history.

With determined grace and a steely dignity, George Herbert Walker Bush spent more than 40 years devoted to public service: First as a naval airman – he would be the last president to serve in World War II – and later as UN Ambassador, chairman of the Republican Party, head of the CIA, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and finally the 41st President of the United States. Bush would serve one term, leaving office in 1993. Yet he would never leave the American political landscape: as the father of the 43rd president, George W. Bush, and through continued commitment to volunteerism and philanthropy, he and his wife of 76 years, Barbara, remained in the public eye.
