520 _aThe purpose of U.S. foreign policy has, at least theoretically, been to keep Americans safe. As we confront a radically changed world, it has become indisputably clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington's insistence that a market economy is compatible with the common good, its faith in the idea of the "West" and its "special relationships," its conviction that global military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order-- these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters. Bacevich lays down a new approach, based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war as a last resort. His vision calls for nothing less than a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security. -- adapted from back cover
