America In Retreat

America In Retreat Is A Concise, Thought-Provoking History Of How The United States' Global Leadership Evolved From Postwar Ascendancy To A Contemporary Era Many Describe As A Post-American World. This Accessible Work Traces Seven Decades Of U.S. Power And Policy, Offering A Clear-Eyed, Cautionary Look At The Shift In Influence And The Rise Of Asia, Particularly China. Written For Adults And Students Of History And International Affairs, The Book Uses A Calm, Informative Tone That Invites Readers To Consider How Past Choices Shape Today’S Global Landscape. Structured As A Chronological Yet Thematic Narrative, America In Retreat Guides Readers Through Pivotal Episodes—From Korea And Vietnam To Iraq And Afghanistan—And Through Interventions In Iran, Guatemala, And Chile, Followed By A Retreat From International Institutions Like The Un And Who And From Broad-Based Trade Agreements.
