It is the season 12 premier episode and with such a long gap since our last Bush episode we thought we would start by looking at the life of George Bush , from his love of Golf and his family connection to the game, to his military time in World War 2, and his time as Vice President, up to the moment in our timeline when Bush enters his second year in the Presidency. 

It is in 1990, when President Bush meets with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to sign the Arms Reduction Agreement at a Summit in Washington D.C.  The relationship had come a long way and it was clear the Cold War was thawing out and the relationship between the struggling Soviet Union and the United States was in fact getting much warmer. 

In this episode, we look back at the thawing of tensions in the Cold War and listen in on the historic press conference with George H. W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev, as an era of peace begins to be taking shape. However,  things would soon take a very different turn.
