Summary

The three presidential administrations of George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush span just two decades, but they cover a pivotally important time: the period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War as the unquestioned victor, enjoyed a degree of international dominance that was unprecedented in the history of the world. These three American presidents were not mere heads of state but the de facto leaders of the world.
