Synopsis

A bold and urgent perspective on how American foreign policy must change in response to the shifting world order of the twenty\-first century, from the New York Times<\/i> bestselling author of The Limits of Power <\/i>and The Age of Illusions<\/i>.<\/b> The purpose of U.S. foreign policy has, at least theoretically, been to keep Americans safe. Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become indisputably clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington\x27s insistence that a market economy is compatible with the common good, its faith in the idea of the \x26#34;West\x26#34; and its \x26#34;special relationships,\x26#34; its conviction that global military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order\-\-these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters. In a bold reconception of America\x27s place in the world, informed by thinking from across the political spectrum, Andrew J. Bacevich\-\-founder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a bipartisan Washington think tank dedicated to foreign policy\-\-lays down a new approach\-\-one that is based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war as a last resort. Confronting the threats of the future\-\-accelerating climate change, a shift in the international balance of power, and the ascendance of information technology over brute weapons of war\-\-his vision calls for nothing less than a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security. Crucial and provocative, After the Apocalypse<\/i> sets out new principles to guide the once\-but\-no\-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world.<\/p>
