Former US Secretary of State George P. Shultz, who played a central role in helping to bring the Cold War to an end as President Ronald Reagan's secretary of state, died at age 100, according to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University where he worked for over 30 years.
Shultz, who was one of only two Americans to have held four different federal Cabinet-level positions throughout his long career, is best known for leading the State Department under Reagan. He also served as secretary of the Department of Treasury, secretary of the Department of Labor and director of the Office of Management and Budget during President Richard Nixon's administration.
His work in presidential administrations extended back to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, when Shultz worked as a senior staff economist on his Council of Economic Advisers during the 1950s.
