Opis

'Happily the new, four-volume book provides an opportunity to scan the past two centuries for indications of the shape of foreign policy in the post-Cold War world. Each of the four books stands on its own. Each offers a clear overview of a particular period written by a distinguished historian drawing on considerable body of research, itself the product of decades of scholarly endeavor. None is simply a chronicle of events.'- World Policy Journal

Recenzje

"...lucid, balanced and readable....the best available survey of American foreign policy during the postwar period. America in the Age of Soviet Power provides an excellent starting point for exploring the story of postwar foreign policy." Jonathan Rosenberg, Boston Book Review
