Summary
"US Foreign Policy since 1945 is an essential and concise introduction to postwar US foreign policy. This book explores the key questions of who makes policy, why, in what style or tradition, under what kinds of democratic control and in what kind of international environment." "US Foreign Policy since 1945 provides challenging and thought-provoking analysis of the crucial issues, including: containment; presidential war powers; realism and idealism; the Cuban missile crisis; Vietnam, Panama, Yugoslavia and Kosovo; the New World Order; and US interventionism and exit strategies."--Jacket.
