under the Trump presidency. Providing the historical context

frequent dysfunctions of the nation's foreign policy agenda with
historical insight into modern policy context.
The Gold Standard for Textbooks on American Foreign Policy American
Foreign Policy Since World War II provides you with an
understanding of America's current challenges by exploring its
historical experience as the world's predominant power since World
War II. Through this process of historical reflection and insight,
you become better equipped to place the current problems of the
nation's foreign policy agenda into modern policy context. With
each new edition, authors Steven W. Hook and John Spanier find that
new developments in foreign policy conform to their overarching
theme--there is an American style of foreign policy imbued with a
distinct sense of national exceptionalism. This Twenty-First
Edition continues to explore America's unique national style with
chapters that address the aftershocks of the Arab Spring and the
revival of power politics. Additionally, an entirely new chapter
devoted to the current administration discusses the implications of
a changing American policy under the Trump presidency.
Professor John W. Spanier examines the central issue of this
crisis--the grave challenge to the traditional concept of civilian
supremacy, resting in the President of the United States, over the
military, that was posed by MacArthur's stand. He makes it clear
that this controversy was not unique, that it stemmed not only from
MacArthur's personality but also from tremendous pressures to
change a "limited war" into a total effort for complete victory.
