The judicious statesman who won victories abroad but suffered defeat at home, whose wisdom and demeanor served America well at a critical time ... George Bush was a throwback to a different era. A patrician figure not known for eloquence, Bush dismissed ideology as "the vision thing." Yet, as Timothy Naftali argues, no one of his generation was better prepared for the challenges facing the United States as the Cold War ended. Bush encouraged the liberalization of the Soviet system, orchestrated the reunification of Germany, and united the global community against Saddam Hussein.
