First edition of George H. W. Bush's life and letters. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Association copy, inscribed by George H. W. Bush to Hillary Rodham Clinton on the half-title page, "Dear Hillary, Thanks for all you've done and are doing for the Bushes. Friendship!! All the best, George Bush Jan 14, 2000 Houston." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by John Fontana. Jacket photograph by Alexanders of Houston. An exceptional association copy.
Organized chronologically, "All the Best" 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 highlights -- 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 postpresidency. 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.
