Publisher's Summary
Though spanning less than two decades, these administrations covered 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.
What the critics say
"No one understands the interdependence of power and principle better than Zbigniew Brzezinski." (Jimmy Carter)
"Brilliantly provocative....Brzezinski covers a great deal of ground with dispatch and verve....His book is never less than exciting." (The New York Times Book Review)
