This book provides a succinct and accessible interpretation of the
major event and ideas that have shaped U.S. foreign relations since
the American Revolution-historical factors that now affect our
current debates and commitments in the Middle East as well as
Europe and Asia. American Foreign Relations since Independence
explores the relationship of American policies to national interest
and the limits of the nation's power, reinterpreting the nature and
history of American foreign relations. The book brings together the
collective knowledge of three generations of diplomatic historians
to create a readily accessible introduction to the subject. The
authors explicitly challenge and reject the perennial debates about
isolationism versus internationalism, instead asserting that
American foreign relations have been characterized by the permanent
tension inherent in America's desire to engage with the world and
its equally powerful determination to avoid "entanglement" in the
world's troubles. This work is ideally suited as a resource for
students of politics, international affairs, and history, and it
will provide compelling insights for informed general readers.
