President George W. Bush is leading a revolution in American foreign policy. Galvanized by the terrorist attacks of September 11, he has radically amended, and in some cases abandoned, strategies and institutions that for decades guided America's engagement in the world. With terrorists, tyrants and technologies of mass destruction posing a grave and growing danger, Bush believes that the best - if not the only way - to ensure America's security is to schuck the constraints imposed by friends, allies and international institutions. In this book, Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay explore how Bush became a foreign policy revolutionary. Before assuming office, he was widely seen as a novice in international affairs who would be guided - if not held captive - by his far more experienced advisors. His insistence during the campaign that the Clinton administration had overextended the United States abroad led many to conclude that his presidency would drift toward isolationism. Daalder and Lindsay show that the conventional wisdom was wrong. Bush, a White House insider during his father's administration, had a clear understanding of how presidents must lead. And he believed that the confident and unilateral exercise of American power was the best way to promote America's national interests. The Bush revolution in foreign policy, the authors argue, carries with it high risks and possibly high costs. 2003, First edition, first printing.

Sinopsis:

George W. Bush has launched a revolution in American foreign policy. He has redefined how America engages the world, shedding the constraints that friends, allies, and international institutions impose on its freedom of action. He has insisted that an America unbound is a more secure America.
How did a man once mocked for knowing little about the world come to be a foreign policy revolutionary? In America Unbound, Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay dismiss claims that neoconservatives have captured the heart and mind of the president. They show that George W. Bush has been no one's puppet. He has been a strong and decisive leader with a coherent worldview that was evident even during the 2000 presidential campaign.
Daalder and Lindsay caution that the Bush revolution comes with significant risks. Raw power alone is not enough to preserve and extend America's security and prosperity in the modern world. The United States often needs the help of others to meet the challenges it faces overseas. But Bush's revolutionary impulse has stirred great resentment abroad. At some point, Daalder and Lindsay warn, Bush could find that America's friends and allies refuse to follow his lead. America will then stand alone ―a great power unable to achieve its most important goals.
