From the most highly respected analyst of foreign policy
writing today, a story of wasted opportunity and squandered
prestige: a critique of the last three U.S. presidents'
foreign policy. America's most distinguished commentator on foreign policy,
former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, offers
a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three
presidential administrations' foreign policy. Though
spanning less than two decades, these administrations cover
a vitally important turning point in world history: the
period in which the United States, having emerged from the
Cold War with unprecedented power and prestige, managed to
squander both in a remarkably short time. This is a tale of
decline: from the competent but conventional thinking of the
first Bush administration, to the well-intentioned
self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the
mortgaging of America's future by the "suicidal statecraft"
of the second Bush administration. Brzezinski concludes with
a chapter on how America can regain its lost prestige. This
scholarly yet highly opinionated book is sure to be both
controversial and influential.
