America Between the Wars: From 11/9 to 9/11; The Misunderstood Years Between the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Start of the War on Terror
America Between the Wars: From 11/9 to 9/11; The Misunderstood Years Between the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Start of the War on Terror Summary:By Derek Chollet, James Goldgeier
"[An] excellent book.... Studies of US foreign policy in recent years
have suffered from an excess of polemic and an absence of cool
analysis. This book provides welcome redress. Barack Obama, for one,
should put it on his reading list." Financial Times"
Product Description
From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the fall of the Twin Towers, this
is the story of how successive US administrations struggled to
understand the changing world. This intensely-researched book is the
definitive account of one of the most overlooked and misunderstood eras
in recent US history: the 12 years after the Cold War was definitively
won. These years passed in a haze of self-congratulation, economic
boom, Clintonian grand theatre, Republican confusion and angst, and
ended with a stunning catastrophe on September 11 2001. With that, many
Americans woke from their torpor and began to focus on the world and
its challenges. But how did the US fail to notice that it had created
newly implacable enemies in the world, able and determined to do harm
on a spectacular scale?Derek Chollet and James Goldgeier blend deep
expertise and experience in government and politics at the highest
levels. This has allowed them broad access to both parties' political
and policy establishments to ask those who served at the time how much
they were aware that the post-Cold War dream was about to become a very
bitter reality. Their analysis - which finds some surprising common
ground between the Clinton and George W Bush foreign policies - will
provoke many people.This book shows that history did not begin on 9/11,
just as it did not end on 11/9. In fact, the roots of all of the
current challenges America confronts - Iraq, Islamic extremism, North
Korea and Iran's nuclear programmes, efforts to rebuild failed states
such as Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, ethnic conflicts
and genocides, economic globalization - stretch back to the period that
began with the end of the Cold War in 1989 and the intense Washington
political struggles over what to do about them. This book is the story
of how the events, people and ideas of that period shaped the politics
and policies of today and tomorrow.
