About this product
Product Information
President George W. Bush is leading a revolution in American foreign policy. Galvanized by the terrorist attacks of September 11, he has radically amended, and in some cases abandoned, strategies and institutions that for decades guided America's engagement in the world. With terrorists, tyrants and technologies of mass destruction posing a grave and growing danger, Bush believes that the best - if not the only way - to ensure America's security is to schuck the constraints imposed by friends, allies and international institutions. policy revolutionary. Before assuming office, he was widely seen as a novice in international affairs who would be guided - if not held captive - by his far more experienced advisors. His insistence during the campaign that the Clinton administration had overextended the United States abroad led many to conclude that his presidency would drift toward isolationism. White House insider during his father's administration, had a clear understanding of how presidents must lead. And he believed that the confident and unilateral exercise of American power was the best way to promote America's national interests. The Bush revolution in foreign policy, the authors argue, carries with it high risks and possibly high costs.

Reviews
"Listed among the top-selling American foreign policy and international affairs books with the #13 position." -- Foreign Affairs , 3/31/2004, "I would not have imagined that two former Clinton staffers could write such a detached and richly textured book about Bush foreign policy. AMERICA UNBOUND is refreshingly original and it makes the case for President Bush as the master of his own unilateralist revolution. Future examinations of Bush foreign policy will be measured against this authoritative book." --Daniel Schorr, senior news analyst, National Public Radio, "Mr. Bush is widely seen, abroad if not at home, as a bonehead with more brawn than brain who has little control over his administration, especially of the neoconservatives who seem to exert such influence within it. This view is rubbish, argue Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay, both scholars at American think-tanks. Mr. Bush is his own man; he sees himself as the chief executive officer of a huge enterprise and acts accordingly; he has a world view and a clear idea of how america should fit into it; and he is no fool." -- The Economist , 12/20/2003, "[A] lucid and concise account of what the authors call 'the Bush revolution' in foreign affairs....It is doubtful that another book will come along soon that covers all the important points of the administrations's foreign policy with more clarity and evenhandedness." --Joshua Micah Marshall, Foreign Affairs , 11/1/2003, "A useful analysis...Their emphasis is less on the shift to preventive war than on the administration's doctrinaire analysis and its moralistic arrogance." --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., New York Review of Books , 10/23/2003, "Of all the books that expound the New Look in U.S. foreign policy, America Unbound has been rightly acclaimed as the best. The research is though∨ analysis is incisive, and the approach fair to the point of being generous to Bush. That makes their criticism of Bush all the more telling. Their careful record of the policy debate alone serves to make the book a reliable work of reference." --A.G. Noorani, Frontline , 12/3/2004, "Exhaustively documented... this book by two Clinton administration National security Council staffers, is a readable, balanced, and concise work that explains the present administration's theory behind the practice. These two authors, who know as much about how foreign policy is translated into action as anyone, have accomplished an empirical analysis of the actions and statements of President Bush and his advisers, discovering and articulating the worldviews behind their decicions.... America Unbound is, ultimately, a criticism of President Bush's policies, his foreign policy unilateralism in particular.... The authors base their case... on the position that the complex foreign policy goals now confronting America cannot be solved with a 'go it alone' policy." --David Marquet, U.S. Navy, Naval War College Review , 4/1/2004, "Daalder's and Lindsay's great art is to independently describe rather than to blindly defend." --Robert Lincoln, Richmond Times Dispatch , 1/18/2004, "...a splendidly illuminating book on the 'Bush Revolution' and the doctrine of unilateral intervention and pre-emptive war. Buttressed by extensive research, the authors demonstrate convincingly that Mr. Bush is not the puppet of the vice president or the Defense Department hawks. He has fundamental beliefs that have reversed America's six-decade commitment to internationalism." -- The New York Times, "As Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay say in their new book, America Unbound, the move to a doctrine of pre-emption or preventive war is a true revolution in American foreign policy, despite its roots in the foreign policies of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson" --Gerald Beller, West Virginia State College, The Charleston Gazette , 2/10/2004, "...a useful overview and authoritative example of current political issues surrounding the Bush presidency in particular and trends in the U.S. foreign policy more generally....America Unbound offers a solid basis for understanding the consequences of the unleashing of America by the Bush presidency." --Laura A. Stengrim, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Rhetoric and Public Affairs , 12/2/2005, "Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay are co-authors of America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foriegn Policy, which won the 2003 Lionel Gelber Prize for the best book on international relations." --Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay, The Globe and Mail , 3/26/2004, "AMERICA UNBOUND is the most ambitious and important study in this batch, not least because the authors painstakingly develop the provocative thesis that the president is not the Dubya of cartoonists, a dim puppet of a cabal of old-guard hawks and neocons, but the master puppeteer himself....The research is admirable, the arguments are well marshaled, and the absence of stridency adds considerable authority to the portrayal of Bush as a president whose 'worldview simply made no allowance for others' doubting the purity of American motives.'" --Serge Schmemann, International Herald Tribune, The New York Times Book Review , 1/25/2004, "Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay, two alumni of the Clinton Administration's National Security Council, have given us a very useful -- and strikingly even-handed -- synopsis of President Bush's foreign policies.... America Unbound is a good book, well worth reading." --Geoffrey Riklin, Intellectualconservative.com , 3/1/2004, "Daalder and Lindsay have done an excellent job of chronicling history in the making, and of doing so soberly, with insight rather than vitrol." --Laura Secor, The American Prospect , 4/1/2004, "Amidst a flood of literature on the Bush foreign policy, America Unbound stands out as the most articulate and compelling. Students of the Bush presidency and US foreign policy will be consulting this instant classic for decades to come." --Andrew Preston, University of Victoria, International Journal, "As Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay argue cogently in their new book America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in American Foreign Policy , the Iraq policy and the whole unilateralist and pre-empt strategy doctrine that underlay it were not forced on a weak, inexperienced and vacillating president by dominant figures pulling his strings. These policies were eagerly adopted by a gung-ho, supremely confident president who was convinced he had the broad picture right and who sees the world in uncompromising Manichean terms of black and white, right and wrong." --Martin Sieff, United Press International, Washington Times , 12/26/2003, "Reprint of The Washington Times/UPI article." --Martin Sieff, United Press International, The San Diego Union-Tribune , 12/28/2003, "AMERICA UNBOUND is a thorough and learned account of how Bush has handled international relations....It is written in a brisk, engaging style that one does not automatically associate with Washington think tanks." --Steve Chapman, Chicago Tribune, Reason , 2/1/2004, "...an illuminating book on the Bush revolution and the doctrine of unilateral intervention and pre-emptive war." --James Chace, New York Times, International Herald Tribune , 12/20/2003, "So what, one might ask. Has the US not put Saddam Hussein in prison and forced Colonel Muammer Gadaffi to abandon his programme for making weapons of mass destruction? Indeed, it has. Force works. But it will not, on its own, achieve the democratic transformation the US now seeks. As Ivo Daalder and James M. Lindsay argue in an important study of the administration's foreign policy: 'The Iraq experience underscored that how America led mattered as much as whether it led.'" --Martin Wolf, Financial Times , 12/24/2003, "Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay, former U.S. National Security Council advisers, won the $15,000 prize for America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy (Brookings Institution Press)." -- The Canadian Press , 3/2/2004, "Reprint of The Washington Times article." --Martin Sieff, United Press International, United Press International , 12/26/2003, "... a reasoned, well-documented analysis of the origins and evolution of the foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration.... This book seems written for a mass audience.... Recommended." --C.W. Herrick, Muhlenberg College, Choice , 6/1/2004, "Daalder and Lindsay argue that despite the lack of knowledge about foreign policy Bush revealed during the 2000 campaign, his views are well formed and held with deep conviction....[They] conclude that the Bush revolution is only a partial one, and is best understood as changing the way the United States conducts foreign policy, not the goals of foreign policy." --Alan Wolfe, Boston College, Commonweal , 12/5/2003, "A stirring and thought-provoking exhortation of President George W. Bush as a bringer of global change, America Unbound is strongly recommended reading for political conservatives, political commentators, and students of contemporary American politics as reflected by the Bush Administration as it engages in a global war against international terrorism." -- The Bookwatch , 3/1/2004
