Barbara Bush: Presidential Matriarch (Modern First Ladies)
"A fascinating, impeccably researched, and long overdue biography by one of the nation's leading experts on the American first lady. Gutin shows that this wife of one president and mother of a second was hardly just a grandmother in pearls, but a shrewd, thoughtful, and humorous political partner to two presidents named Bush. This is political biography at its best." John Robert Greene, author of The Presidency of George Bush "A crisp and clean account of Barbara Bush's emergence as one of the most compelling first ladies of our time.... Well-written and well worth reading." Gil Troy, author of Hillary Rodham Clinton "Savvy and insightful." Herbert S. Parmet, author of George Bush: The Life of a Lone Star Yankee"
