The status of the United States as a world power, and the
nature of power itself, are at a historic turning point. It
is essential that we understand and adapt to the new
security environment in which we find ourselves. Two of
the most respected figures in American foreign policy are
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft—both former National
Security Advisors under markedly different administrations.
In America and the World they dissect, in spontaneous
and unscripted conversations moderated by David Ignatius,
the most significant foreign policy challenges facing the
U.S.: the Middle East, Russia, China, Europe, the Developing
World, the changing nature of power in a globalized world,
and what Brzezinski has called the “global political
awakening.” While one author is a Republican and the other a
Democrat, they broadly agree on the need to adapt to a new
international environment. Where they disagree, their
exchanges are always both deeply informed and provocative.
America and the World will define the center of
responsible opinion on American foreign policy at a time
when the nation’s decisions could determine how long it
remains a superpower.
