Summary: Predictable, Useful, Lacks Real Structure
Comment:
I am a big fan of Seven Stories Press and their important work in bringing alternative views to the public. Unfortunately, they also tend to be somewhat predictable and repetitive, so minus one star.
Having said that, I rate this as a very important book that is worth buying, along with "Why People Hate America", "The Fifty Year Wound", and the books by Joe Nye. [See my reviews for a summative evaluation of each book.]
The book explores the mis-direction of US foreign policy, with sections on resources, military, international law, foreign economic policy, intelligence, and culture.
The book discusses the specifics of Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
The book attempts, but does not succeed, to present a chapter on "how things should change." This chapter, while well-intentioned and undoubtedly sound in its specifics, misses the mark in terms of presenting a comprehensive alternative foreign policy that supports both American security and sustainable global prosperity. Indeed, I recommend my review of the Boren and Perkins book on foreign policy in the 21st Century, which includes 18 key points made by their distinguished authors, as a superior listing of key points to consider.
US unilaterilism is making the world less safe for our children. Everything being today "in our name" is reducing both security and prosperity in the long run. This book is an important secondary reference, well worth buying, but it does not quite hit the home run that a winning Presidential candidate can use in 2004 to oppose the current program.
