The Wars of the Bushes
A Father and Son as Military Leaders
Description:... It Is A Remarkable Twist In History That Over A Period Of 30 Years The Only Full-Fledged Military Campaigns Waged By The United States Have Been Initiated By A Father And Son The Two Presidents Bush. Yet Rather Than Representing A Continuity In American Policy, The Wars Launched By The Bushes Have Revealed A Vast Chasm Between Those Who Believe The New World Should Stand As A Beacon For Global Freedom, And Those Who Think That America Should Become Its Unilateral EnforcerIn The Wars Of The Bushes: A Father And Son As Military Leaders, Historian Stephen Tanner Describes The Four Major Conflicts Waged By The Presidents Bush. He Begins With The Invasion Of Panama And The Gulf War, Both Of Which Were Characterized By Overwhelming Force, Matching Military Capability To Geopolitical Goals With Decisive Results. Having Positioned America As The Moral, As Well As Military, Leader Of The World, The Elder Bush Also Cushioned The Collapse Of The Soviet Union With Diplomacy Rather Than Warfare, Which May Have Been His Greatest Triumph.( Published In Collaboration With Casemate)
