Abstract
Condoleezza Rice played an important part on the American diplomatic scene at crucial times of change in foreign relations. Rice first arrived at the White House in 1989 as the expert on the Eastern European Communist bloc for then–national security advisor Brent Scowcroft. These were the final years of the Cold War, and Rice had a key role in shaping the policy of President George H. W. Bush’s administration toward the process of German reunification.
