Former President George W. Bush To Discuss Father's Memoir

Former President George W. Bush will speak at his presidential center with the author of his father's biography.

The forum Sunday in Dallas comes two days before biographer Jon Meacham's "Destiny and Power" becomes publicly available.

In the book, former President George H.W. Bush criticizes his son for setting an abrasive tone on the world stage and failing to rein in hawkish Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense chief Donald Rumsfeld.

The biography is the fullest account yet of the elder Bush, the only modern ex-president not to write a full-length memoir. It draws on Bush's diaries and interviews conducted from 2006-2015.

The Bush Center says Bush and Meacham will discuss George H.W. Bush's early life in Connecticut, his experiences in business and politics, and time in the White House.
