A tribute from the Founding Director and Deputy Director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security
«Without General Scowcroft’s guidance, the course of history could have been drastically altered. Who knows how the Cold War would have ended without his steady hand helping the United States and its allies navigate the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact and the reunification of Germany in the early 1990s? Who knows what the world would be like if he had not orchestrated the forcible ejection of invading Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1990-1991? General Scowcroft served as national security advisor when the United States did not just face foreign adversaries, but also an earthquake in the global order. He helped the United States and its allies (and potential adversaries) navigate that historic inflection point in a fashion that constructively shaped the direction of the post-Cold War world.»
