Best Selling Books by Zbigniew Brzezinski

Recueil d''essais publiés entre 1971 et 1976 dans des revues anglo-américaines prestigieuses telles "Foreign policy" et "Foreign affairs". Celui qui devait devenir l''"éminence grise" du président Carter en matière de politique étrangère en est l''auteur. Ses prises de position laissent présager une refonte profonde de la politique américaine. Soulignons que Brzezinski a également remplacé Henry Kissinger au Conseil national de sécurité. Excellente préface de Jean-Pierre Cot. [SDM].

A story of wasted opportunity and squandered prestige: a critique of the last three U.S. presidents'' foreign policy. Distinguished commentator on foreign policy, former National Security Adviser Brzezinski, offers a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three presidential administrations'' foreign policy. 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.--From publisher description.
