1:06:22Now PlayingMeacham’s sure grasp of history and the leaders who have contributed to it earned him a Pulitzer for American Lion, his life of Andrew Jackson; he has also written American Gospel, a portrait of the Founders, and has told the story of one of the last century’s decisive relationships in Franklin and Winston. Now Meacham chronicles the career of George H.W. Bush, drawing on official archives and on the former president’s personal diaries to follow him from his Connecticut upbringing and service in World War II to his successful Texas oil enterprises, and through his long and diverse public career as a congressman, U.S. ambassador, CIA director, and chief executive.
