Since the end of the Cold War, Kirkpatrick argues, America's
relationship with the world has been especially compromised by its
mutual distrust with the United Nations, and by continuing
uncertainty over U.S. involvement in conflicts among rogue nations
overseas. In "Making War to Keep Peace", Kirkpatrick offers a
tightly observed chronicle of the result: a period in which the
United States has increasingly used force around the world-to mixed
and often challenging results. Tracing the course of diplomatic
initiatives and armed conflict in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and
Kosovo, she illuminates the shift from the first Bush
Administration's ambitious vision of a New World Order to the
overambitious nation-building efforts of the Clinton Administration
in Somalia and Haiti.Kirkpatrick offers a strong critique of
Clinton's foreign policy, arguing that his administration went
beyond Bush's interest in building international consensus and
turned it into a risky reliance on the United Nations. But she also
questions when, how, and why the United States should resort to
military solutions-especially in light of the challenging war in
Iraq, about which Kirkpatrick shares her "grave reservations" here
for the first time. With the powerful words that have marked her
long and distinguished career, Kirkpatrick explores where we have
gone wrong-and raises lingering questions about what perils
tomorrow might hold.
