Excerpts
The 41st president of the United States, George H.W. Bush served as the vice president under Ronald Reagan before winning the Republican nomination and the presidency in 1988. During Bush's term, the world dealt with many dramatic changes—the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union collapsed, and Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
Despite the success of Desert Storm, George H.W. Bush lost the 1992 election to Democrat Bill Clinton.
Fully inclusive and up to date, The George H.W. Bush Years provides a detailed survey of this president and his administration. One hundred A-to-Z biographical entries describe the major politicians, foreign leaders, and outside influences most important to this presidency, and extensive resources and appendixes provide a clear, well-balanced picture of the events, accomplishments, and agendas of the administration.
Biographical entries include:
Lee Atwater
William J. Bennett
Michael Dukakis
Thomas S. Foley
Saddam Hussein
Manuel Noriega
H. Ross Perot
Colin L. Powell
Brent Scowcroft
and more.
