Summary: George Herbert Walker Bush, a World War II veteran who led an international coalition through the 1990-91 Gulf War during his time as the 41st president, died November 30, 2018. He was 94. Like all U.S. presidents, Bush’s time in office had high points and low points. While Bush’s popularity skyrocketed after the Iraq War, the nation’s flagging economy helped lead to his defeat to President Bill Clinton in 1992. The two men later formed a strong friendship. A statement from his son, George W. Bush, who became president years after his father, said the elder Bush “was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for.” December 3, 2018 video and resource materials from PBS NewsHour.
