Seller notes: xx, 269, [7] pages. Tables. Notes. Selected bibliography. Index. This is one of the Praeger Series in Presidential Studies. From an obituary posted on-line: Marcia Lynn Whicker played a central role in the transitions taking place in Presidential Studies Quarterly. In many respects Marcia was an "original." She had many academic and other accomplishments. She was chair of the Department of Public Administration in the Graduate School at Rutgers University, Newark from 1994 until shortly before her death. Since 1984, she authored, co-authored, or edited sixteen books. She had several academic degrees, including a Ph.D. in Political Science and an MS in Economics from the University of Kentucky, a MPA degree from the University of Tennessee, and a BA degree in Political Science and Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She also secured, while teaching at the University of South Carolina, an associate's degree in electronic engineering from Midland Technical College in Columbia. The book focuses on policy-making at the highest levels of the United States government. Chapter contributors examine political, military, and foreign policy processes from micro and macro perspectives in documenting how President Bush personally dominated U.S. national security policy and was the driving force behind the United Nations-backed coalition of nations against Saddam Hussein. The authors place the president's actions into political and historical perspective and examine the consequences of the Gulf War in both military and diplomatic terms. Among the subjects discussed by experts are the president's political and constitutional roles in war-making; the foreign policy implications and military issues in the war; the domestic implications; and the postwar environment and planning for peace.
