The book I read is a biography on George W. Bush, written by John F. Wukovits. George made many contributions to society in his life. He wanted to do something different in business to prove himself. He sold his oil company in order to purchase the Texas Rangers baseball club. He enjoyed great success as president of the club. In 1994 he turned his eye toward politics again. He entered the Texas governor race against the incumbent, Ann Richards. George ran on a platform of improving education. His campaign was successful as he was elected by a margin of 335,000 votes. He started the Texas Reading Initiative, a program devised to develop reading proficiency in every student by third grade. In 1999 George decided to serve the people of this great nation by running for the office of President of the United States. George was born in New Haven, Connecticut on July 6, 1946.
