　　From the most highly respected analyst of foreign policy

writing today, this is a story of wasted opportunity and squandered

prestige - the history of the last three U.S. presidents' foreign

policy.The most distinguished commentator on foreign policy, former

National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, offers a reasoned

but unsparing assessment of the foreign policy of America's last

three presidential administrations.Though spanning less than two

decades, these administrations cover a vitally important turning

point in world history: the period in which the US, having emerged

from the Cold War with an unprecedented degree of power and

prestige, managed to squander both in a remarkably short time. This

is a tale of decline: from the competent but conventional thinking

of the first Bush administration, to the good intentioned

self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the mortgaging of

America's future by the "suicidal statecraft" of the second Bush

administration. Brzezinski concludes with a chapter on how America

can regain its lost prestige, if not its former dominance.Scholarly

and highly opinionated, this book is both controversial and

influential.

媒体评论

　　"No one understands the interdependence of power and principle

better than Zbigniew Brzezinski." Jimmy Carter "This excellent

short book... is about more than errors of the present

administration's foreign policy. George W. Bush certainly comes in

for searing criticism, not least over Iraq and his one-sided

approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict. But what makes Mr

Brzezinski's account interesting - and, in parts, intellectually

demanding - is the sense it makes of the great swirl of shifting

forces that set the context." Financial Times "It goes against the

grain of much commentary confined within the parameters of

established US thinking on the subject." Irish Times "In his

compelling new book...Mr. Brzezinski not only assesses the short-

and long-term fallout of the Iraq war, but also puts that grim

situation in perspective... the author writes with a keen

understanding of the ways in which military or political actions in

one part of the world can affect developments in another

region...Mr. Brzezinski's verdict on the current president's record

- 'catastrophic,' he calls it - is nothing short of devastating"

New York Times "Brzezinski has described the challenge of future

American leadership with unusual clarity." Washington Post"
