The foreign policy of the United States is guided by deeply held
beliefs, few of which are recognized much less subjected to
rational analysis, Christopher J. Fettweis writes, in this, his
third book. He identifies the foundations of those beliefs - fear,
honor, glory and hubris - and explains how they have inspired poor
strategic decisions in Washington. He then proceeds to discuss
their origins. The author analyzes recent foreign policy mistakes,
including the Bay of Pigs, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq War, and
he considers the decision-making process behind them, as well as
the beliefs inspiring those decisions. The American government's
strategic performance, Professor Fettweis argues, can be improved
if these pathological beliefs are recognized and eliminated.
