Character and Consequence by Robert A. Strong, looks at important foreign policy decisions of George H. W. Bush through the lens of character and asks how personal traits like loyalty, compassion, reticence and audacity had an impact on American foreign policy at a pivotal point in world history. Combining biographical observations with in-depth case studies of complicated international events, the book explores foreign policy decision-making and presidential personality for a broad audience. It is recommended to those curious about a critical era in U.S. diplomatic history, and to students of American politics and international relations who want to understand America’s forty-first president and his decisions and actions at the end of the Cold War.

With literary flare and scholarly precision, Robert Strong sheds light on how President George Bush's character--his loyalty, compassion, audacity, and other traits--shaped his approach to the important foreign policy decisions of his administration. A particular virtue of Strong's approach is the use he makes of the Miller Center's extensive oral history interviews of leading administration figures who knew the president well and saw him up close.
