"The most important book yet written about the end of the Cold War."
-The New York Tmes Book Review

"Among the finest expositions of modern American foreign policy. . . . An excellent book."
-Eugene V. Rostow, The Wall Street Journal

It was a pivotal administration in the history of American foreign policy--for during George Bush's presidency a series of international events took place that had a profound impact on the course of America and on the future of world diplomacy.
        In A World Transformed, Mr. Bush and his national security advisor, Brent Scowcroft, provide a fascinating account of a president and an administration faced with unprecedented obstacles and unrivaled opportunities as they forged a foreign policy at the end of the Cold War. Solidarity comes to power in Poland. East and West Germans dance on the wall that separated them for half a century. And on Christmas Day, 1991, the hammer-and-sickle flag descends from the Kremlin for the last time.
        It is also a candid analysis of a new chapter in foreign affairs, when the United States led an international alliance to confront the threat presented by Saddam Hussein and presented a dynamic response to the Tiananmen crisis. Balanced and intelligent, A World Transformed offers a landmark treatise on American foreign policy and international diplomacy from two of its principal architects.

"Reveals not only a wealth of detail about the main lines of foreign policy at the highest level during a most portentous period of our history, but also of the truly admirable characters of the men who made it."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer

"In a strong new book, the ex-president recalls
dangerous days. . . . It should leave little doubt how lucky we were that we had such a seasoned hand on the tiller at a time when foreign policy really counted."
-Michael R. Beschloss, Newsweek

"In a strong new book, the ex-president recalls dangerous days...It should leave little doubt how lucky we were that we had such a seasoned hand on the tiller at a time when foreign policy really counted."
--Michael R. Beschloss, Newsweek

"Among the finest expositions of modern American foreign policy since the time of Harry
Truman...An excellent book...unique in form...[dealing with] potentially explosive crises. Any one of them, if badly managed, could have precipitated a third world war in a nuclear setting."
--Eugene V. Rostow, Wall Street Journal

"It reveals a wealth of detail about the main lines of U.S. foreign policy at the highest level during a most portentous period of our history...There is much high drama here [and] plenty even for experts to learn."
--Adam Garfinkle, Philadelphia Inquirer

"A memorable memoir...A compelling look at some very important historical developments...Remarkably candid as well as occasionally self-critical...Supplemented with a series of revealing and heretofore unpublished excerpts from Bush's White House diaries."
--Richard S. Dunham, Business Week

"The most important book yet written about the end of the Cold War...Remarkably frank, intelligent and also readable, indeed at times gripping."
--Fareed Zakaria, New York Times Book Review

At Least He Could Define What "Is" Is

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 26. September 1998

Columnist Eric Alterman of "The Nation" recently and sneeringly labeled former President George Bush a "do nothing patrician."
Alterman and others who believe that might or might not change their views if they read "A World Transformed," an excellent history of an administration that squarely faced and carefully guided this country through one of the most difficult and tremendous events in history--the ending of the Cold War on the West's terms, with all of the broad social, philosophical and political ramifications that it implied. But they would be wise to open this book. They might learn something.
Bush and former administration national security adviser Brent Scowcroft commmunicate in a easygoing, thoughtful but dignified and decisive manner, about everything from Mikhail Gorbachev to Desert Storm to the economy, an approach that has practically disappeared amid the spectacle of a White House now dominated by a politically correct spoils system, perpetual poll-driven indecision and celebrity-obsessed pandering.
Bush and Scowcroft freely admit their shortcomings and mistakes without rationalization, rancor or excuse and their work should, if nothing else, reaffirm the truth of Bush Labor Secretary Lynn Martin's 1992 campaign statement, "You can't be one kind of man and another kind of President."
Reading this book has really awakened me to how dangerously high a price we are now paying for not heeding those words.

Detailed and Thrilling Account of Historic Change

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 23. Oktober 1999

George Bush and Brent Scowcroft have written a great book about a fascinating subject. This is very engaging and at times is very much a page turner. I was left thinking that a more detailed account of history being made by the movers themselves may not exist. The end of the Cold War is a great story in and of itself, but also a story that could have had a very different ending were it not for the team that managed to bring it to a successful close.
This is a very honest book by honest men. Evenly though successful on all of the big issues, they write of miscues, uncertainty and difficulties in reaching the "right" decision. It is not a self-praise tome, but a book that is not afraid to lay out an accurate rendering of the facts and atmosphere. The reader has enough information and background to put himself in the role of President and ask, "What would I have done in that siguation." It's the mark of a thorough book.
One can not help but come away impressed by the Bush foreign policy apparatus and the President's own grasp of events, the players and the vital interests of the United States. He, aided by one of the best foreign policy / national security teams ever assembled, played America's hand superbly.
After reading this book, anyone who still believes that any President's main responsibility is "the economy, stupid" is.....well, stupid.

Essential Foreign Affairs work

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 8. Oktober 1998

Although they left office only six years ago, it seems the world they describe is nothing like the one today. The collapse of communism, the Gulf War, and the crackdown in China seem so far removed from the current Balkan battles and Asian/Russian economic woes.
The book is much more than a "kiss and tell" biography of the life and times of two during the Cold War. Bush and Scowcroft wisely limited their discussion to only a few matters and that allowed them to cover in more depth these important events than so many "What I Did in the White House" books that are on the market. Still, the hard core foreign affairs scholar may be seeking much more, but I think this is an important read for anyone wanting to know "how it was" at the end of the Cold War.
The book provides insight into these decisions that I found refreshing to read. It showed the personal nature that is important to diplomacy, and it spoke a great deal about trust. I don't want to sound too political because this is going to be the best history of one of the most important times since the end of World War II, but as you read about the negotiations and "first name" diplomacy practiced with incredible skill and character, you won't want to put down this book and read the newspapers because you'll just feel depressed about the current state of the Presidency.
As a friend of mine said, who hasn't yet finished the book, "It makes you long for the days when adults were in the White House."

Days that shaped our world

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 10. März 2000

I read the book with amazement. I thought it both profound in the efforts to grapple with the end of the Cold War and the lengths that were taken to deal with international crisises. I don't care about the prose or style - it was wonderful to get my hands on a book that gave me a more concrete insights and level headed practicality in foreign policy rahter than that foreign policy in more recent times. Brent Scowcroft and Georege H. W. Bush lead the world through interesting and troubled times and helped us establish the United States as the preminent global power. It's a good read if you are interested in the shaping of foreign policy at the very top.

Interesting format, a bit disjointed though

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 17. November 1999

This reminds me of the "high performance car, low performance driver" thoughts I have as I watch some bad guy on those reality based TV shows wreck as they are chased by the police. Way too much dry, casual information, not enough human emotions in these pages, was my first thought upon finishing this book.
A bit too much time is spent on Russia, not nearly enough time spent on things here at home. Left me thinking that maybe there wasn't too much energy focused on internal problems (US) and there was way too much energy spent on the rest of the world's problems.
I read Bush's "All the Best" just prior to reading this book, and I highly recommend it over this book. I'm not even sure how useful this book will be to those of us who are historical buffs.

The politics of excellence with which George Bush's presidency in a short time miraculously changed the entire world!

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 20. Juli 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

I greatly enjoyed reading this, what only be described as history changing & enlightening, book written by George H.W. Bush and Brent Scowcroft themselves! If I can distinguish this original in thought book's content is that, unlike all the other George Bush books I've read, this one focuses more on the pure politics and policies of George Bush's presidency and less on other life information. It is a must buy for all lovers of real history at its crossroads when the new world order was coming full of hope for the future. And where the entire world's morbid existential fears of the Cold War period George Bush unbelievably effective policies finally ended for the long-lasting economic, political and multiple other benefit of all mankind. For all this and much more we should all be eternally grateful for his high world class professional leadership!

A charming valuable read

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 20. Februar 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

This book felt very realistic to me. It didn’t feel self congratulatory but instead showed how a team can navigate a major change in a positive way. This book really hammers home my belief that things could have been so much worse if they hadn’t been handled calmly as the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact collapsed.

Interesting insider insights

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 27. August 2005

Verifizierter Kauf

I'm no expert on the end of the Cold War, nor on the many issues Bush and Scowcroft discuss. There are too many people who argue that the end of the Cold War had everything or nothing to do with Ronald Reagan. As Bush and Scowcroft make plain, intentionally or not, change was coming around too quickly for anyone to claim credit. I know the standard story-line: Reagan raised defense spending and this drove the Soviets to spend until they collapsed. It's a simple story, but it leaves out far too much to be accurate. Bush was on the tail end of a decades-long strategy of containment; thankfully all presidents stood their ground in confronting the Soviets. Perhaps we should all recognize how fortunate we were to have Bush and Scowcroft in leadership positions for the four years they served as President and National Security Adviser. Admittedly cautious, they used their time wisely in dealing with the Soviet Union.

Very thorough in dealing with German reunification and in standing up to Saddam. It's amazing to read the Gulf War stuff: Bush and Scowcroft discuss the importance of alliances, the UN Security Council, containment, and the difficulties of urban warfare. Apparently someone's son did not read the book. Are we better off or worse off for that? Time will tell.

In a sense the book is not co-written because the two authors go back and forth in describing their different memories of the four Bush White House years. An original approach.

Unfortunately, no discussion on the U.S. invasion of Panama.
