The judicious statesman who won victories abroad but suffered defeat at home, whose wisdom and demeanor served America well at a critical timeGeorge Bush was a throwback to a different era. A patrician figure not known for eloquence, Bush dismissed ideology as "the vision thing." Yet, as Timothy Naftali argues, no one of his generation was better prepared for the challenges facing the United States as the Cold War ended. Bush wisely encouraged the liberalization of the Soviet system and skillfully orchestrated the reunification of Germany. And following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, he united the global community to defeat Saddam Hussein. At home, Bush reasserted fiscal discipline after the excesses of the Reagan years. It was ultimately his political awkwardness that cost Bush a second term. His toughest decisions widened fractures in the Republican Party, and with his party divided, Bush lost his bid for reelection in 1992. In a final irony, the conservatives who scorned him would return to power eight years later, under his son and namesake, with the result that the elder George Bush would see his reputation soar.

A top ten world chess player, George H. Mackenzie (1837-1891) dominated in the U.S. for more than a quarter century. Scottish by birth, Mackenzie was adopted by American chess players as their representative on the national and international scenes and was beloved as an entertainer wherever he toured. Despite his overwhelming record and global renown, no full-length biography or comprehensive collection of his games has appeared until now. This book details his tragic family life, his British and American war records, relations with the New York, national and international chess communities and his unfortunate and questionable death.
