Summary

In this book, Clarke and Clad challenge the established foreign policy elite to rethink old ways of approaching policy making. Believing that America should remain a strong world leader, Clarke and Clad convincingly argue for restraint in foreign policy decisions. Ever since George Bush proclaimed his vision of a "new world order," most foreign policy thinking has worked on the premise that we have moved into a new era for which we must invent new rationales and agendas for action. Against this, the authors argue that, in Warren Harding's words, America's need today is not for "heroics, but healing; not nostrums but normalcy."
