George HW Bush: Life in pictures - BBC News
Images of the life of George HW Bush, the ultimate political insider who served as CIA chief, vice-president and president of the US.
As a bona fide war hero and son of a statesman, George HW Bush had impeccable credentials for a career in politics. He made his first foray into national politics in the 1960s, when he won a seat in the House of Representatives. His wife, Barbara, was rather more liberal than her husband in her own politics but campaigned hard for him.
