Though spanning less than two decades, these administrations cover a vitally important turning point in world history: the period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War with unprecedented power and prestige, managed to squander both in a remarkably short time. This is a tale of decline: from the competent but conventional thinking of the first Bush administration, to the well-intentioned self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the mortgaging of America's future by the suicidal statecraft of the second Bush administration. Brzezinski concludes with a chapter on how America can regain its lost prestige. This scholarly yet highly opinionated book is sure to be both controversial and influential.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"ÝBrzezinski's¨ analysis of East Asian realities and of the complicated U.S.-China-Japan relationship is lucid and constructive and a joy to read."<br><br>"An indisputable road map to the current geopolitical situation, and a guide on how America must conduct herself to ensure peace and stability in the future." -- Jimmy Carter<br><br>"Brzezinski's reach is breathtaking...in a masterly fashion, he takes the reader on a trip around the world in 200 pages.... A fascinating book, and a disturbing one in the best sense of the term."<br><br>"In the furor over the war on Iraq (was it justified?), the author gets back to what the debate should be about. The polemicists on both sides of this argument would be well advised to heed Mr. Brzezinski."<br><br>"No one understands the interdependence of power and principle better than Zbigniew Brzezinski." -- Jimmy Carter<br><br>"One of the most important books on U.S. foreign policy since September 11."<br><br>"The Grand Chessboard is the book we have been waiting for: a clear-eyed, tough-minded, definitive exposition of America's strategic interests in the Post-Cold War world. A masterful synthesis of historical, geographical, and political analysis, it is geostrategic thinking in the grand tradition of Bismarck." -- Samuel P. Huntington<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Zbigniew Brzezinski</b> (1928-2017) was National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter, a counselor and trustee at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and a professor of American foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University.
