Why America Can't Retrench (And How it Might)

Meer over het boek

The book explores the entrenched belief in US military dominance as crucial for national security, despite growing public support for reduced overseas involvement. It examines how domestic politics, shaped during WWII and the Cold War, have created a framework resistant to policies of restraint. The author argues that for the US to adopt a more balanced global role, significant domestic reform and realignment are necessary. It outlines potential changes and advocates for a grand strategy of restraint that can be developed from within the country.
