America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder

â€œWise counsel for a constructive, tough-minded, and sensible foreign policy. Read and learn.â€ â€”GEORGE SHULTZ, U.S. Secretary of State, 1982â€“1989
Â
The world is tipping into chaos. Why?
Â
In this acclaimed and influential book, Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning columnist Bret Stephens shows how the retreat of American power, orchestrated by Barack Obama, has created the power vacuums now being filled by our enemies. From Vladimir Putinâ€™s quest to restore the old czarist empire, to Chinaâ€™s efforts to dominate the South China Sea, to Iranâ€™s nuclear ambitions, to ISISâ€™s dreams of an Islamic caliphate, we have entered an era in which our foes no longer fear us and our friends no longer trust us.
Â
With his stylistic flair and analytical brilliance, Stephens explains the ideological roots of Obamaâ€™s suspicions of American power. He demonstrates how a false belief in AmeriÂcan decline has led to a disastrous prescription of retreat, as if the cure for domestic weakÂness is international weakness. In a prophetic chapter, he warns of what the world could look like in 2019 if we do not change course. And he lays out the right formula for U.S. foreign policyâ€”the same formula that brought order to our once crime-ridden streets.
Â
America in Retreat is shaping the greatest foreign policy debate of our decade.
