Andrew Bacevich is a leading American public intellectual, writing
in the fields of culture and politics with particular attention to
war and America’s role in the world. Twilight of the American
Century is a collection of his selected essays written since 9/11.
In these essays, Bacevich critically examines the U.S. response to
the events of September 2001, as they have played out in the years
since, radically affecting the way Americans see themselves and
their nation’s place in the world. Bacevich is the author of
nearly a dozen books and contributes to a wide variety of
publications, including Foreign Affairs, The Nation, Commonweal,
Harper’s, and the London Review of Books. His op-eds have
appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Wall
Street Journal, among other newspapers. Prior to becoming an
academic, he was a professional soldier. His experience as an Army
officer informs his abiding concern regarding the misuse of
American military power and the shortcomings of the U.S. military
system. As a historian, he has tried to see the past differently,
thereby making it usable to the present. Bacevich combines the
perspective of a scholar with the background of a practitioner. His
views defy neat categorization as either liberal or conservative.
He belongs to no “school.” His voice and his views are
distinctive, provocative, and refreshing. Those with a focus on
political and cultural developments and who have a critical
interest in America's role in the world will be keenly interested
in this book.
