Download When the World Seemed New: George H. W. Bush and the End of the Cold War AudioBook Free
The end of the Chilly War was the greatest distress to international affairs since World War II. In that perilous minute, Saddam Hussein thought we would invade Kuwait, China damaged down alone pro-democracy protesters, and regimes throughout Eastern Europe teetered between democratic change and new authoritarians. Not since FDR in 1945 possessed a US chief executive experienced such opportunities and troubles. As the presidential historian Jeffrey Engel shows in this hard-to-pause background, behind closed doors from the Oval Office to the Kremlin, George H. W. Bush increased to the occasion brilliantly. Distrusted by such key allies as Margaret Thatcher and dismissed as too careful by the press, Bush possessed the knowledge and the knowledge to work with personal, one-on-one diplomacy with world market leaders. Bush knew when it was necessary to rally a coalition to push Iraq out of Kuwait. He were able to help unify Germany while building up NATO. Predicated on unprecedented usage of previously classified documents and interviews with all of the principals, When the planet Seemed New is a riveting, fly-on-the-wall consideration of a chief executive with his side on the tiller, guiding the country by using a pivotal time and setting the stage for the 21st century.
