Review of
Destiny
and Power The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush
By Jon Meacham, Instaread summary
This summary
could be considered the “Cliffs Notes” version of the life of President George
Herbert Walker Bush and I mean that in the positive sense. Reading it will
quickly bring you up to a reasonable speed on the life and accomplishments of
the man commonly referred to as Bush 41. In reading it through, you cannot help
but be impressed by the accomplishments of the man, he was generally successful
in everything he did. As president he deftly handled major changes in the world
and successfully prosecuted a limited war in Iraq, although he is generally
considered to have been a lower level president due to domestic economic
problems.
With most of
the summary about President Bush the man and what he did, there is reduced
discussion about the book itself. The reader of the summary is forced to reach
their conclusions based on the quality of the summary, which is excellent. One
certainty that I came away with is that I will read the full book by Meacham.
