A new book by a long-time White House photographer about the presidency of George W. Bush unveils many candid and behind-the-scenes shots of his eight years in office, including a photo of the U.S. president and the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, going back-to-back to see who was taller.

The book, ‘Front Row Seat: A Photographic Portrait of the Presidency of George W. Bush,’ includes 240 pages of images from White House photographer Eric Draper’s more than one million photographs from the Bush II years, the UK Daily Mail reported on Monday.
