One can only hope that Bacevich is read and understood by a generation young enough to see through and reject those dismal elites.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003e(Editors' Choice)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of U.S. foreign policy is, at least theoretically, to keep Americans safe. Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington’s insistence on a market economy, its faith in the idea of the “West” and its “special relationships,” its conviction that military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order—these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a bold reconception of America’s place in the world, informed by thinking from across the political spectrum, historian Andrew Bacevich lays down a new approach based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war only as a last resort in \u003ci\u003eAfter the Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e. Confronting the threats of the future—climate change, a shift in the international balance of power, and the rise of information technology as a weapon of war—his vision calls for a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security, setting out new principles to guide the once-but-no-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057150312688,"sku":"9781250839343","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250839343_p0.jpg?v=1763703760","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250839343","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
