New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1998.

First edition of this stimulating reflection on American foreign policy during the Bush administration. Octavo, original half-cloth. Association copy, inscribed by President George H.W. Bush to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien on the half-title page, “To my friend Jean With great respect for your leadership and service to Canada George Bush 6-5-99.” Jean Chrétien served as the 20th Prime Minister of Canada from 1993 to 2003, leading the country through a period of economic growth and political stability. Known for his populist style and strong federalist stance, Chrétien played a key role in opposing Quebec separatism and was instrumental in reducing the national deficit during his tenure. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. An exceptional association.

A World Transformed is not simply a record of accomplishment; Bush and Scowcroft candidly recount how the major players sometimes disagreed over issues, and analyze what mistakes were made. This is a landmark book on the conduct of American foreign policy--and how that policy is crucial to the peace of the world. It is a fascinating inside look at great events that deepens our understanding of today's global issues.
