Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country
ISBN: 9781250055385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The United States has been "at war" for more than a decade. Yet as war has become normalized, a yawning gap has opened between America's soldiers and the society in whose name they fight. For ordinary citizens, as former secretary of defense Robert Gates has acknowledged, armed conflict has become an "abstraction" and military service "something for other people to do." In Breach of Trust, bestselling author Andrew J. Bacevich takes stock of the damage this disconnect has wrought. National defense, he argues, should become the business of "we the people." Should Americans... The United States has been "at war" for more than a decade. Yet as war has become normalized, a yawning gap has opened between America's soldiers a... |

War Over Kosovo: Politics and Strategy in a Global Age
ISBN: 9780231124829 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. More than any other episode since the end of the Cold War, the conflict in Kosovo revealed the distinctive attributes of a new American "way of war." In so doing, Kosovo also brought into sharp focus the military, political, and moral dilemmas confronting a liberal democracy intent on wielding preeminent power on a global scale. What are the moral implications posed by waging high-tech warfare for humanitarian purposes? Does the precedent set by intervention of this type point toward peace and stability or toward more war? How well suited are the United States military and American...

The Imperial Tense: Prospects and Problems of American Empire
ISBN: 9781566635332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Does the United States today preside over a global empire? America's emergence as the world's dominant power in the 1990s nurtured the perception initially more pronounced abroad than at home that with the passing of the cold war the United States had indeed become an imperial republic. Some observers, convinced that American power is necessarily benign, welcome that new reality. Others are not so sure. In The Imperial Tense, Andrew Bacevich has drawn together a stimulating collection of arguments on a subject of compelling current importance. Since September 11 and the ensuing war on terror,...

The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War (Updated)
ISBN: 9780199931767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this provocative book, Andrew Bacevich warns of a dangerous dual obsession that has taken hold of Americans, both conservatives and liberals alike. It is a marriage of militarism and utopian ideology, of unprecedented military might wed to a blind faith in the universality of American values. This mindset, Bacevich warns, invites endless war and the ever-deepening militarization of U.S. policy. It promises not to perfect but to pervert American ideals and to accelerate the hollowing out of American democracy.

Stany Zjednoczone - zdaniem Bacevicha - mogą uporać się ze swoimi problemami tylko poprzez powrót do tradycji politycznego realizmu. Ameryka powinna... "Granice potęgi" pokazują głęboki, potrójny kryzys, przed którym stoi dzisiejsza Ameryka. Gospodarka znajduje się w niewyobrażalnym nieładzie...

American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U.S. Diplomacy
ISBN: 9780674013759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In a challenging, provocative book, Andrew Bacevich reconsiders the assumptions and purposes governing the exercise of American global power. Examining the presidencies of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton--as well as George W. Bush's first year in office--he demolishes the view that the United States has failed to devise a replacement for containment as a basis for foreign policy. He finds instead that successive post-Cold War administrations have adhered to a well-defined "strategy of openness." Motivated by the imperative of economic expansionism, that strategy aims to foster an open...
