John Judis draws sharp contrasts between the Bush administration's policies, especially with regard to Iraq, and those of every administration from Franklin Roosevelt through Bill Clinton. The result is a thought-provoking look at America's position in the world—then and now—and how it has been formed, that will spark debate and controversy in Washington and beyond. Judis raises crucial questions about why the Bush administration has embarked on a foreign policy that has been proven unsuccessful and presents damning evidence that its failure is already imminent. The final message is a sobering one: Leaders ignore history's lessons at their peril.
