Summary
"This edited volume consists of contributions from American statesmen who have guided US foreign policy through the Cold War, the Iraq and Afghan wars, the 2008 economic crisis, and the instability that emerged during the Trump administration. The chapters allow diplomats and military professionals such as Gen. Wesley Clark, NATO ambassador Robert Hunter, and others to reflect on their experience. The volume takes its cues from George Kennan's 1950 University of Chicago lectures that were the most widely read account of US diplomacy in the first half of the twentieth century. The insights collected here touch on international crises over the past seventy years and provide a critical assessment of the way forward for diplomats and scholars of American statecraft"--
