Now thoroughly updated, this respected text provides a clear, concise, and affordable narrative and analytical history of American foreign policy from the revolutionary period to the present. This edition features an all-new chapter on the George W. Bush presidency, 9/11, and the war in Iraq. The historiographical essays at the end of each chapter have been revised to reflect the most recent scholarship. The History of American Foreign Policy chronicles events and policies with emphasis on the international setting and constraints within which American policy-makers had to operate; the domestic presures on those policy-makers; and the ideologies, preferences, and personal idiosyncrasies of the leaders themselves. The new edition gives increased attention to the role of cultural and intellectual factors in setting up the problems faced by U.S. decision makers, and includes new materials on globalization and the war on terror.
