4. 'The Bush Legacy: Their Story in Photographs,' by David Elliot Cohen

The Bush Legacy: Their Story in Photographs (Sterling, 224 pp., $24.95) by David Elliot Cohen includes a foreword by Condoleeza Rice. The 230 photos collected here show former US Presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush at some key moments – including both highs and lows – of their careers. George Bush Sr. is seen accepting the 1988 Republican nomination and also debating Geraldine Ferraro, while George W. Bush is seen both addressing Congress following the 9/11 attacks and flying over the Hurricane Katrina devastation. There are also more intimate pictures like George Bush Sr. and his wife Barbara in bed in Maine surrounded by their grandchildren. A text section includes transcripts of key speeches by both men.
