The Four Ages of American Foreign Policy, the eminent authority on American foreign policy Michael Mandelbaum offers a new framework for understanding the history of the foreign policy of the United States.

Testo aggiuntivo
Mandelbaum has written probably the best and the most comprehensive study ever published on American foreign policy. [...] a truly superb synthesis of both theory and history… With this magisterial volume, Mandelbaum's greatest contribution is the placement of many dramatic and significant historical and contemporary events within a theoretical and historical context. [...] The systematic analysis of such a long period in the history of American foreign policy yields new and compelling perspectives on events, peoples, and processes.
