Out of the shadow : George H.W. Bush and the end of the Cold War

In this look at the first Bush administration's handling of the end of the Cold War, author Christopher Maynard argues that George H.W. Bush made a fundamental shift in foreign policy regarding the Soviet Union. He believes historians have downplayed Bush's contribution, in part, because they have focused on the strong ideological rhetoric of Reagan and Gorbachev without looking at the day-to-day process of policymaking during the Cold War. This book incorporates a variety of important, previously unused sources, and its focused treatment of the topic will appeal to scholars interested in both the first Bush presidency and the Cold War--BOOK JACKET
