Created as a project to honour veterans and their individual stories, 'Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors' by George W. Bush is a striking publication from the former President.

The book features sixty-six portraits as well as a four-panel mural of veterans that have all served for the military since 9/11. Many of the individuals within the publication were sent to war as a result of the former President's orders, which makes the book a poignant creation that's inherently personal and striking.

'Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors' features many beautiful portraits and stories with proceeds from the sale of the book going to a non-profit organization that operates as a way to help veterans and their families transition to civilian life.
