内容説明

Previously "The Faces of Power: United States Foreign Policy from Truman to Reagan", this text has been newly revised and updated to include information on the Bush and Clinton presidencies. It synthesizes a range of material from recent scholarship, archives, presidential addresses and personal memoirs to trace major US policy debates and decisions from the end of World War II to the present day. The author focuses on the basic premises of US policy-makers regarding the country's international interests and goals. A major theme is the end of the Cold War, the events that led to its demise, and the future scenarios that are possible.

In the new edition of this major work, Seyom Brown brings his authoritative account of United States foreign policy completely up-to-date with analyses of the Truman administration to the Clinton administration. Most notably, Brown provides an insightful overview of the last three presidencies, beginning with an expanded treatment of the Reagan years to the first major scholarly assessment of Bush's foreign policies to Clinton's early ambivalence toward grappling with the dilemmas of the post-Cold War world.
