he kept diaries as a u.n.assador, as rnc chairman, event a little bit of a campaign diary in 1980, sporadically vice president. he was very good in odd-numbered years because in even-numbered years he was out campaigning. so he was on the road for congressionacongressional and se candidates. and then starting on november 4, 1986, he says i'm beginning a diary about the biggest challenge of my life, the biggest mission of my life, i'm going to run for president. it was the day they lost the senate. so it starts kind of dark, but he did his throughout the 88 campaign and then as president he missed a week or two maybe but not many. he would do it early in the morning, sometimes up in the treaty room. you use the same room. he would care in his briefcase. he would do it on marine one. you can hear the blades of a helicopter. he would do it on air force one. you can do the ancient. he would sometimes do it late at night when it just sounds a step away from the grave, just beaten down by the date the once so reveal

to read her diaries.t did you learn in that? >> this is an amazing historical document. starts in 1948 when they go to odessa. when they went to odessa, mrs. pierce, back in rye, thought they were going to russia. it was the wrong odessa. but it wasn't that far off. and literally mrs. pierce sent boxes of soap and detergent to her son-in-law and daughter, figuring they didn't have that in texas. the first time your dad drove through texas in the studebaker, he stops at a local diner in abilene. he orders chicken fried steak, not knowing if it was chicken fried like a steak or steak fried like a chicken. so he ordered a lone star so it didn't matter. so there's one moment in the diary in 1948, you were 2. maybe 1949. where you were listening to mother goose records. she had just gotten -- >> that's where it all started. >> take that, putin. >> yeah! >>. [ cheers and applause ] >> and you jabbed her in the leg with a knitting needle. >> take that, mother. >> what these diaries give you is an -- if you put a

i read the diaries.lassic george herbert walker bush, he said read the diaries, i want to make sure you think something is there. he said to jean becker, what if he just finds an empty deck of cards? he told me two things that were heartbreaking. he said sometimes i feel i can -- like an asterisk. lost between the glory of reagan and the trials and relations of my son. the other key element i think was that he did not know there was enough there there. charlie: there there meaning his historical record? not so much his diaries and recordings? jon: he worried there was not that much stuff to write about him. i have a note from him from 2008. after i published a biography of andrew jackson. he writes, it is a little overwhelming to think i would be following a lion. because i called the book, "american lion." he said to me afterward, because i had written about winston churchill, andrew jackson, he told me, i am not fdr, i am not churchill, i am not a lion. what he was was a unique american odyssey. we sha

he kept diaries as a un ambassador, rnc chairman, and, and a little bit of a campaign diary in 1980, sporadically as vice president, very good and odd-numbered years because in even numbered years she was out campaigning, so he was on the road for congressional and senate candidates. and starting on november the 4th 1986 he says, i am beginning a diary about the biggest challenge of my life of the biggest mission of my life, i'm going to run for president. it starts kind of dark. but he did this throughout the 88 campaign command then as president he missed a week or two maybe. he would do it early in the morning, sometimes up in the tray room, usetree room, use the same room as an office up the residence. he would carry it around in a briefcase, do it on marine one. you could here the blaze of the helicopter. what is so revealing about them is reading alone is fascinating, and it is a unique historical document. it is as close as anyone except the gentleman to my right is ever going to get to be president. because he is talking, not writing. the act of writing if you step back from

occasionally mentions in the diary, they are audio diaries, that's an important thing. one of the litter things we all have. late at night, early in the morning, on marine 1, on air force one you can hear the chopper blades going as he decides he is going to say this will not stand. and i think it was they are but tick. he would hate that word of course because he never wanted to be put on the couch, but he never complained to anyone else, including mrs. bush about the burdens of the presidency, because as he told me once, nobody wants to hear the president of the united states say oh woe is me, you are just damned lucky to be there, so the one person that he could complain was to himself. >> rose: to himself, yes. >> and there is that interesting moment in which you have him which was a revelation for me and i think anybody, who knows anything about politics and policies with a certain, follows wit a certain passion in which he becomes a bit despondent after the war had been won. >> this is the gulf war, first gulf war. >> rose: what is interesting about this and this

diaries he handed over, four years' worth of diaries including what president george h.w.h said when he lost the election in '92. that night talking about his deep pain of losing and also about his reflections, m.j., on the generation, and he talked about sort of a lack of commitment to country. >> yeah, and i think something else that was really striking was this idea that running through the bush family is this idea of sort of destiny that when h.w. bush was a younger man that he would hear from family members saying, hey, this is george, and he's going to be the president. and this is something that he confronted and i think felt as maybe even a burden or a pressure even when he was just senator and he was not close to even being, you know, vice president, president. and clearly these are themes running through jeb bush, a candidate that i'm covering now on the road and, you know, seeing him confront these questions about both his brother and his father, i was so struck a couple weeks ago in iowa, i was at a local diner and one of the people in the audience asked jeb bu
