Frustrated Empire :US foreign policy, 9/11 to Iraq
David Ryan examines the similarities between US foreign policy and tactics in Vietnam and the emergence of the neo-conservative 'war on terror'. Is America's new policy of pre-emptive action really any different from the period before the 9/11 attacks? Turning the 'clash of civilizations' thesis on its head, Ryan presents a careful analysis of the evolution of US foreign policy. He examines the Project for the New American Century and the foreign interventions of the 1980s, the first Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan and lastly Iraq. Engaging seriously with the issues, this is a key read for all students of history and international politics.
