Summary
When the World Seemed New examines George H.W. Bush's presidency during the pivotal period from 1989 to 1992, focusing on his diplomatic leadership as the Cold War ended. Jeffrey Engel chronicles Bush's careful management of transformative events including the fall of the Berlin Wall, German reunification, and the Soviet Union's collapse. The book reveals Bush's cautious, pragmatic approach to foreign policy, emphasizing his efforts to maintain stability while navigating unprecedented geopolitical changes.
