Heartbeat: George Bush in His Own Words (Simon & Shuster, 2001)
2001 Review from “Library Journal”: Heartbeat is a “...collection of short excerpts from letters, speeches, public papers, and interviews by former president George Bush (that is an attempt to define his ‘heartbeat’ by presenting a version of who Bush is through his written and spoken words)...If Bush’s words lack a certain flair, imagination, or drama, they present a portrait of a man deeply rooted in American values...Recommended for public and academic libraries.”
—Michael A. Genovese, Loyola Marymount Univ., Los Angeles
