America Alone explores how George W. Bush's election, and the fear
and confusion of September 11, 2001, combined to allow a small
group of radical intellectuals to seize the reins of US national
security policy. It shows how, at this 'inflection point' in US
history an inexperienced president was persuaded to abandon his
campaign pledges (and the successful consensus-driven, bi-partisan
diplomacy that managed the lethal Soviet threat over the past
half-century) and adopt a neo-conservative foreign policy
emphasizing military confrontation and 'nation-building'. To date,
the costs - in blood, money and credibility - have been great and
the benefits few, with traditional conservatives deploring Bush's
approach. America Alone outlines the costs in terms of economic
damage, distortion of priorities, rising anti-Americanism, and
reduced security. Then it sets out an alternative approach
emphasizing the traditional conservative principles of containing
risk, consensus diplomacy and balance of power.
