But this is a very powerful and thought-provoking look at the direction of American policy and its sad mistakes in the years sin
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014
Since the retirement of George Kennan, the US has not had a more astute diplomat specializing in Soviet and post-Soviet affairs than Jack Matlock. His words of caution and of prescience (see what he has to say about Crimea in 2009) should not go unheeded, but unfortunately have done so for the most part.
His optimism over incoming President Obama's new approach to American diplomacy has sadly proven to be unfounded. But this is a very powerful and thought-provoking look at the direction of American policy and its sad mistakes in the years since the administration of President George Bush. Anyone seeking a different view of how American should direct its foreign policy should read this book.
