Transforming Our World
From the fall of the Soviet Union to the Gulf War, the presidency of George H. W. Bush dealt with foreign policy challenges that would cement the post-Cold War order for a generation. This book brings together a distinguished collection of foreign policy practitioners – career and political – who participated in the unfolding of international events as part the Bush administration to provide insider perspective by the people charged with carrying them out. They shed new light on and analyze President Bush’s role in world events during this historic period, his style of diplomacy, the organization and functioning of his foreign policy team, the consequences of his decisions, and his leadership skills. At a time when the old American-led post-World War II order is eroding or even collapsing, this book reminds readers of the difference American leadership in the world can make and how a president can manage a highly successful foreign policy.
The Last Card
This is the real story of how George W. Bush came to double-down on Iraq in the highest stakes gamble of his entire presidency. Drawing on extensive interviews with nearly thirty senior officials, including President Bush himself, The Last Card offers an unprecedented look into the process by which Bush overruled much of the military leadership and many of his trusted advisors, and authorized the deployment of roughly 30,000 additional troops to the warzone in a bid to save Iraq from collapse in 2007. The adoption of a new counterinsurgency strategy and surge of new troops into Iraq altered the American posture in the Middle East for a decade to come. In The Last Card we have access to the d...

Tolkien's Gedling 1914
In 1914, JRR Tolkien, his life in crisis, visited his Aunt Jane's Phoenix Farm in Gedling near Nottingham.

Focussing on this single event, this work sets out to discover more about Phoenix Farm, Jane Neave and the poem.
The Nerve Center
In what James A. Baker III has called the “worst job in Washington,” the chief of staff orchestrates the president’s conduct of the U.S. government. He holds the unique responsibility to magnify the time, reach, and voice of the president of the United States. “You need a filter, a person that you have total confidence in who works so closely with you that in effect he is almost an alter ego,” Gerald Ford has said. In this volume, resulting from the Washington Forum on the Role of the White House Chief of Staff held in 2000 in Washington, D.C., twelve of the fifteen men who have held the office of chief of staff discuss among themselves and with a select group of participants the c...

The Presidency Is Not a Joke
In the 2000 presidential election, the then Gov. George W. Bush ran as the candidate of 'honesty', 'integrity', 'truth' and 'character.' That was his claim and his supporters' claim. After he won the Republican primary by defeating Sen. John McCain, he and his supporters essentially characterized his Democratic opponent, former vice president Al Gore as a 'liar' and an 'untrustworthy' individual. That characterization stuck and Gore never fought back vigorously against those charges. It was not only after Mr. Gore conceded the election (many thought he won), that his former opponent and many of his supporters saw Gore differently as 'honorable' and 'gracious.' Some actually called him "a goo...
