America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy

By Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay

"A splendidly illuminating book."
—The New York Times

Like it or not, George W. Bush has launched a revolution in American foreign policy. He has redefined how America engages the world, shedding the constraints that friends, allies, and international institutions once imposed on its freedom of action. In America Unbound, Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay caution that the Bush revolution comes with serious risks–and, at some point, we may find that America’s friends and allies will refuse to follow his lead, leaving the U.S. unable to achieve its goals. This edition has been extensively revised and updated to include major policy changes and developments since the book’s original publication.

Reviews for America Unbound

[mikebiever · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Much of the information in this book has been covered in books read prior to this. However, any book about the Bush presidency and -- in particular -- the response to the terrorist attack of 9-11-2001 is worth reading to me.
