As the chief of staff to former President George Herbert Walker Bush, Jean Becker had a front-row seat to the fascinating life of the man post-presidency. This includes being by his side when he passed away and then facing the challenge and honor of organizing his state funeral. Jean Becker's book, "The Man I Knew," is a vibrant behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of heading up the office of a former president, written by one of the people who knew him best.
This book tells the story of how, after his devastating loss to Bill Clinton in 1992, President George H.W. Bush rebuilt his life, found a way to make a difference, and how, by the time he died in November 2018, was revered by his country and the world. Bush's post-presidency journey was filled with determination, courage, love, hope, humor, fun, and big ideas. He became best friends with the man who defeated him; developed the odd habit of jumping out of airplanes; and learned how to adjust to life in a wheelchair, after having lived most of his life as a high-energy athlete. He joyously saw two sons become governors of their states, one of whom would go on to become President of the United States.
What happens when you go almost overnight from being the most important and powerful person in the world to a private citizen? "The Man I Knew" tells just such a story, of one man's humble journey from president to man of the people.
Jean Becker's book is a must-read for anyone interested in American politics, history, and the personal lives of former presidents. It is full of heart and wisdom, providing a unique insight into the life and times of George Herbert Walker Bush.
