From the struggle for independence to the era of renewed competition with China and Russia, he reveals the grand strategies underpinning the nation's pursuit of sovereignty, security, expansion, and democracy abroad. He shows how successive administrations have projected diplomatic, military, and economic power, and mobilized ideas and information to preserve American freedoms at home and secure US aims abroad. He exposes the myth of American isolationism, the good and ill of America's quest for democracy overseas, and how too often its administrations have lacked clear political aims or a concrete vision for where they want to go. Understanding this history is vital if America is to relearn how to use its power to meet the challenges ahead and to think more clearly about political aims and grand strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009257275\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.25 Inches, Length: 6.25 Inches, Weight: 3.0423792156 pounds, Width: 2.25 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald Stoker (National Defense...","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862757605683,"sku":"9781009257275","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/8865623482547.jpg?v=1754184150","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/purpose-and-power","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
