The definitive analysis of the events, ideas,
personalities, and conflicts that have defined Obama’s
foreign policy When Barack Obama took office, he brought with him a new
group of foreign policy advisers intent on carving out a new
global role for America in the wake of the Bush
administration’s war in Iraq. Now the acclaimed author of
Rise of the Vulcans offers a definitive, even-handed
account of the messier realities they’ve faced in
implementing their policies. In The Obamians, acclaimed author James Mann tells
the compelling story of the administration’s struggle to
enact a coherent and effective set of policies in a time of
global turmoil. At the heart of this struggle are the
generational conflicts between the Democratic
establishment—including Robert Gates, Hillary Clinton, and
Joseph Biden—and Obama and his inner circle of largely
unknown, remarkably youthful advisers, who came of age after
the Cold War had ended. Written by a proven master at
elucidating political underpinnings even to the politicians
themselves, The Obamians is a pivotal reckoning of
this historic president and his inner circle, and of how
their policies may or may not continue to shape America and
the world.
