Abstract

From one of our most brilliant and original writers on U.S. foreign policy, a stunning and timely book on the policy of the Bush administration and its current grand strategy for the world. Mead begins by analyzing America's historical approach to the world& by no means perfect, but reasonably moral and reasonably practical on the whole.

'Power, Terror, Peace, and War 'is a clear, concise guide to some of the mo
