In this timely, thoughtful, and important book, at once far-seeing and brilliantly readable, America's most famous diplomatist explains why we urgently need a new and coherent foreign policy and what our foreign policy goals should be in this new millenium. In seven accessible chapters, this book provides a crystalline assessment of how the United States' ascendancy as the world's dominant presence in the twentieth century may be effectively reconciled with the urgent need in the twenty-first century to achieve a bold new world order. With a bold new afterword by the author that addresses the situation in the aftermath of September 11, this book asks and answers the most pressing questions of our nation today.
