Presidents and Foreign Policy examines countdowns to ten important
and controversial decisions in the post-World War II period, using
the case study approach. The authors include one major controversy
for each president from Truman to Clinton. The cases cover central
issues of diplomacy, war and peace, and covert action that shaped
the Cold War period and its aftermath in all major areas of the
world.
After reviewing the historical background of each decision, each
case examines the foreign and domestic policy context, the
effectiveness of presidential decision-making, and results of the
decision. The reader is challenged to think about each decision by
responding to a unique evaluation scheme the authors developed and
tested.
"Edward Drachman and Alan Shank have created superb case studies
of controversial presidential decisions. The case study approach
isn't new: what is exciting is the pedagogy they employ -- the
countdown approach. These cases are forward looking rather than
retrospective: they describe each issue the president faced as it
unfolded, and as it presented itself to the White House and the
nation for decision". -- Barbara Kellerman, coauthor of The
President as World Leader
