Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush is a 2015 book by Jon Meacham about George H. W. Bush. [1] [2] [3]
The New York Times wrote that the book "reflects the qualities of both subject and biographer: judicious, balanced, deliberative, with a deep appreciation of history and the personalities who shape it." [1] Kirkus Reviews called it "meticulously researched but perhaps overlong," writing that "Meacham does his best with this 'underwhelming' but noble subject." [4] Publishers Weekly called Destiny and Power "a vivid, well-written account that doesn't quite come to grips with its subject's pivotal place in history." [5]
