george h.w. bush has led a very public life since his election to the house of the representatives in 1966. he went on to serve as ambassador to the united nations, director of the cia, vice president to ronald reagan and finally served as the nation's 41st president, leaving office in 1993. for the first time the george bush presidential library and museum is chronicling the personal life of the former president through 41 different voices. world leaders, politicians, friends and family tell their stories of the former president and his life away from the cameras and away from the spotlight. they paint a picture of a man who is often funny, loving and devoted to public service, even in the most difficult times of his presidency. they also describe a man who more than anything else, put his family first. their stories are sometimes surprising. in the words of george w. bush, his father is a man who takes himself lightly but his responsibilities seriously. >> george's mother was a gentle, wonderfu

yes, i'm talking about president george h.w. bush. remember this? two weeks ago on his ninthth birthday that's scary ---90th birthday that's scary any time. i wouldn't do that on my 18th birthday. that's not scary enough for president bush. he likes really scarier stuff scarier than jumping out of a plane. yesterday president bush 41 took another big risk. this time it was with me. he got in a cart with me at the wheel. now, that sounds dangerous, doesn't it? but i was his designated event in maine gary's house. families stay local hospital when relatives are hospitalized. i teased him often during the day about getting in the vehicle with me behind the wheel. he laughed, is he a good sport. more than that, is he a great man, you will never meet a more decent man than president bush 41. america is so lucky to have him. and mrs. bush? mrs. bush she was there. she didn't bride me. she never stops either. it must be in their blood. see you tomorrow night right here at 7 p.m. eastern. right now go to gretawire.com. check out my photos with president bus

we have reports of the uss george h.w. bush being sent to the persian gulf. we have the president weighing all of his options right now. we have john kerry saying yesterday apparently that the u.s. will stand with the iraqi government. when you look at everything that's happening right now, you've been in situations sort of similar to this before. when you look at what's happening right now, the signals that are being sent, what do you think the likelihood is of the u.s. intervening militarily in some way? >> i'd say it's a 50-50 right now. but i think it's important to understand what the united states has tried to do under president obama is extraordinarily difficult, to pull back from an intervention. when we did it in vietnam, it was extremely difficult and painful and it was something we lived with for 20 years, really until the gulf war. but when we are trying to do this and also handle the problems going on, you just can't underestimate how difficult this is psychologically, politically, diplomatically and militarily. and so it's an extraordinary time.

start with the last assignment of george h.w. bush and mikhail gorbachev and then goes all the way to the end of december. i left moscow on the second day of the coup. i wrote is the beginning of the coup and came back on the 21st of december after teaching at the university in canada for one semester. on the 21st of december the time when they decided there was no soviet union anymore. when i came to the university of alberta they asked me to teach a class on the ussr crisis. at that time i was working on 17th century history. i said come on, i can do that and they said that the students want that. coming from a soviet union i thought a professor would teach what they want and not what the students want. i simply change my view on that. so i decided okay i will teach a course on the ussr crisis but they knew nothing about economics. lets teach about democracy and the triumph of democracy in moscow. i'm coming from the ukraine. but i know in my perspective is very different. this is about mobilization of national identity. now wh
