A FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED THE WORLD: TEXAS TITANS

Best-selling author, speaker and expert in cybersecurity, Charles Denyer today announces the release date of his latest book, Texas Titans: George H.W. Bush and James A.Baker, III: A Friendship Forged in Power on November 17, 2020. Denyer captures and shares the unique friendship between the two men and how their individual skills complemented each other and served them well in their political careers for six decades.“I’ve always wanted to share the incredible storiesI’ve heard about this dynamic friendship,” said Denyer. “Bush and Baker are two of the most significant statesmen of the past half-century. They helped transform the world during an era of immense challenges and change.”Denyer spent the last three years interviewing those closest to Bush and Baker, including former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Vice Presidents Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle, and numerous other notable political power players from the past fifty years. The stories that were shared with him along with his diligent research gave him firsthand insight into the incredible friendship that first began over fifty years ago on the tennis courts of the Houston Country Club. The two men became best friends and grew into political power players on the world stage in the decades that followed. Baker was the blue-blooded Texan, hailing from Houston, with roots as deep as any other family in the Lone Star State. Bush was the East Coast transplant who pushed aside a life of Wall Street riches for the oil fields of East Texas. But they connected both personally and politically, and America is the better for it. Together, they rode the highs of political victories –Bush’s 1988 presidential election landslide win –yet also felt the sting of defeat with his failed re-election effort in 1992. Serving the nation they loved with honor and dedication, they navigated both domestic and international challenges, including the Tiananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, the re-unification of Germany, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Denyer shares these stories, and many more, in his highly-anticipated novel. “Texas Titans gives readers an intimate perspective on the challenges these two national icons faced, the respect they commanded from world leaders, the admiration they had for each other and the value of their friendship,” said Denyer.“These men became –and still are –Texas titans.”
