 The Empire Has No Clothes: US Foreign Policy Exposed by Karen Kwiatkowski
Eland lucidly reminds us why this should be the case today, and coherently puts forth a vision of an American foreign policy that satisfies the framework put forth by the founders, and one that politically and economically will satisfy and greatly enrich both her citizens, and the rest of the world.
