This book offers a bold re-interpretation of the prevailing
narrative that US foreign policy after the Cold War was a failure.
In chapters that retell and re-argue the key episodes of the
post-Cold War years, Lynch argues that the Cold War cast a shadow
on the presidents that came after it and that success came more
from adapting to that shadow than in attempts to escape it. When
strategic lessons of the Cold War were applied, presidents fared
better; when they were forgotten, they fared worse. This book tells
the story not of a revolution in American foreign policy but of its
essentially continuous character from one era to the next. While
there were many setbacks between the fall of Soviet communism and
the opening years of the Trump administration, from Rwanda to 9/11
and Iraq to Syria, Lynch demonstrates that the US remained the
world's dominant power.
