Excerpts

The United States has recently come into conflict with some of its oldest and most trusted European allies while strengthening ties with newer ones, many of them former satellites of the Soviet Union. In the Middle East and on the Korean peninsula, a desire for peace and security has led to threats of war or preemptive strikes as well as intensive rounds of diplomatic negotiations. Newspapers, magazines, television sets, and the Internet provide Americans with the latest information as it becomes known. In this atmosphere more than ever, the need for an accessible, reliable reference to foreign policy is essential.

It is the ideal place for students and general readers to start their research on America’s relationship with the rest of the world.The book contains approximately 500 accessible entries.
