COHENUniversity of Maryland”A remarkably succinct, lucid, and provocative survey of America’spost Cold War foreign policy, brimming with shrewd insights. This iscontemporary history at its best. Highly recommended for students,specialists, and general readers alike.”ROBERT J. MCMAHON, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDAThis sharp and authoritative account of American foreign relations analyzesthe last fifteen years of foreign policy in relation to the last 40 years, sincethe end of the Cold War.In 1989, the United States emerged as victor from the Cold War struggle. Butwhat did victory mean? In the United States, commentators were divided intheir views: some feared their nation’s eclipse by more successful tradingpowers or blocs; others were concerned that undoubted militarypre-eminence was in effect financed by foreigners. A little over a decadelater, these worries seem remote – but others have replaced them. Theattacks on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001, gave the US anew and unwelcome sense of vulnerability, while the responses of the Bushadministration have created grave misgivings in many parts of the world.This fascinating study gives readers an overview and understanding of therecent history of US foreign relations from the viewpoint of one of the mostrespected authorities in the field.SERIES: AMERICA’S RECENT PASTSERIES EDITOR: RONALD EDSFORTH216 PAGES / 1-4051-1426-6 HB / 1-4051-1427-4 PB / JULY 2005ALSO OF INTERESTAmerican Environmental <strong>History</strong>Edited by LOUIS S.
