Reviews
"What distinguishesImperial Americaby John Newhouse from so many other books on a similar theme is the elegance of the prose and the acuity of the argument. . . . There's fresh material on political changes in Iran, the threat posed by North Korea, and Washington's apparently boundless enthusiasm for Ariel Sharon's vision of the Middle East." Los Angeles Times Book Review "This useful book is packed with compelling little details showing just how many wise and experienced people warned others at one time or another that Iraqi regime change was needless at best, dangerous at worst. . . . persuasive and thorough."--The Washington Post Book World "A well-timed and elegantly written reminder of the international dynamics that were in play long before Sept. 11, 2001, and will require diplomats' attention long after American infantrymen leave Iraq. . . . [An] admirable study." The New York Times Book Review "Newhouse is worth listening to. . . . His experience in government on arms control and European issues has taught him much about how government works."--The Economist From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Russell Mead,New York Times Book Review) comes a timely and important account of the Bush administration's squandered foreign-policy opportunitieswhat it did and did not do during the run-up to the war in Iraq. John Newhouse describes the ways in which America's relationship with much of the world went wrong after the events of September 11, 2001, the moment when most nations were ready to accept U.S. leadership in a war against terrorism. Newhouse poses important questions: Why didn't the Bush administration exploit this rare opportunity to stabilize the Middle East, and Southwest and Northeast Asia? How have the administration's truculent behavior, misguided actions, and inaction at critical moments undermined efforts to curb the production of weapons of mass destruction? Why have Bush and his cabinet laid down edicts that have served chiefly to upset and sharpen the insecurities of other nations, including some of our allies? Newhouse discusses the reasons why Pakistan is probably the most dangerous country in the world. He devotes attention to the threats posed by Iran and North Korea, and the administration's bungled, dangerously inept attention to them. Woven through with illuminating anecdotes and vivid portraits of the playersBush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell, Blair, Chirac, Putin, and othersImperial Americais a brilliantly clear, timely, and powerfully thought-provoking exposé of recent American foreign policy: how it has been made and perilously mishandled.
