Nunca desde los tiempos de John Quincy Adams y John Adams en la Casa Blanca hace 190 ańos han sido padre e hijo presidentes de los Estados Unidos.
En 41: un retrato de mi padre, George W. Bush el presidente nśmero 43, nos guķa a lo largo de la vida y el liderazgo de su padre, George H.W. Bush, el presidente nśmero 41. Ķntimo y conmovedor, 41 es un libro que solo un hijo —y también presidente— podķa escribir.
La vida de George H.W. Bush es una gran historia americana. A raķz del ataque a Pearl Harbor y contra los deseos de su padre, pospuso sus estudios para pilotar en las fuerzas armadas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tras varias misiones en el Pacķfico, regreso a Estados Unidos donde se casó con Barbara Pierce, la mujer que tanta influencia tendrķa sobre padre e hijo. Tras una exitosa carrera en Wall Street, su espķritu aventurero hizo que la joven familia se trasladara a Texas. Recordando su nińez en Midland, Texas, George W. Bush explora como su padre desarrolló su instinto, su capacidad para las relaciones personales, y su habilidad para arriesgar al tiempo que triunfaba en el mundo del petróleo primero y en polķtica después.
George W. Bush describe las extraordinarias tres décadas de su padre en la polķtica —en el Congreso primero, mįs tarde como embajador, director de la CIA, vicepresidente bajo Ronald Reagan y finalmente presidente de los Estados Unidos en 1988. Pero mįs que una biografķa, 41 nos ofrece las lecciones que un hijo aprendió del hombre al que admira y adora. George W. Bush reflexiona sobre la influencia que su padre tuvo en su vida tanto personal como polķtica, y revela como el apoyo constante y silencioso de su padre lo ayudó en los momentos mįs difķciles.
George H.W. Bush fue uno de los polķticos mįs influyentes norteamericano del siglo XX, y uno de los hombres de estado mįs queridos del siglo XXI. 41 es un emotivo tributo a un inspirador padre y a un gran estadounidense.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
