Remembering Eduard Shevardnadze

The Honorable James A. Baker, III, remembers the political courage of the late Eduard Shevardnadze, who served as foreign minister of the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev and then as president of Georgia. A staunch supporter of Gorbachev's reforms, Shevardnadze "helped shepherd the Soviet Union, Europe and, indeed, the world through a period of profound and unpredictable change," writes Baker.
