Description
Today, even as it asserts itself globally, America lacks a grand strategy to replace the Cold War's 'containment of communism'. In this book, Gary Hart, until recently co-chair of the US Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, outlines a new principled approach, based on the power of American ideals, its 'fourth power'.
Reviews / Votes
"Hart questions notions of preemption and preventive war... [He] offers a conceptual framework in which a "fourth power" -- "the power of principle" -- must be added to traditional American economic, political and military power as a major strategic asset internationally... In their current formulation, [his ideas] could prove important as soon as next year. An active Kerry for President campaigner, Hart could be a senior appointee in a Kerry administration.
