Résumé: | The Persian Gulf War represented one of the few unambiguously successful uses of large-scale, military force by the United States since World War II. The success of Operation Desert Storm was in large measure a result of George Bush's management style in making political, diplomatic, and strategic decisions. The elements in this success involved: the homogeneity and solidarity of the President's "inner circle"; the President's skills in personal diplomacy; the care that went into the building and maintenance of broad congressional and public approval for the war-effort. The success of Bush's elitist management style however, was limited essentially to foreign affairs rather than domestic and electoral politics. |
