This new edition of Michael H. Hunt's classic reinterpretation of
American diplomatic history includes a preface that reflects on the
personal experience and intellectual agenda behind the writing of
the book, surveys the broad impact of the book's argument, and
addresses the challenges to the thesis since the book's original
publication. In the wake of 9/11 this interpretation is more
pertinent than ever. Praise for the previous edition: "Clearly
written and historically sound. . . . A subtle critique and
analysis."--Gaddis Smith, "Foreign Affairs" "A lean, plain-spoken
treatment of a grand subject. . . . A bold piece of criticism and
advocacy. . . . The right focus of the argument may insure its
survival as one of the basic postwar critiques of U.S.
policy."--John W. Dower, "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" "A
work of intellectual vigor and daring, impressive in its
scholarship and imaginative in its use of material."--Ronald Steel,
"Reviews in American History" "A masterpiece of historical
compression."--"Wilson Quarterly" "A penetrating and provocative
study. . . . A pleasure both to read and to contemplate."--John
Martz, "Journal of Politics"
