NEW YORK—The next book from former President George W. Bush will be more about pictures than words.

“Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors” will feature 66 paintings and a four-panel mural drawn by Bush of military veterans and those in active service, the Crown Publishing Group told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The book is scheduled to come out Feb. 28, 2017, and will include an introduction by Bush and forewords by former first lady Laura Bush and by Gen. Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
