- Summary:
- After the Cold War, America's hopes for new world order evaporated with new violence in such places as Somalia and Bosnia. A new school of thought called "chaos theory" argues that the spread of Western culture offends many and triggers violence. The author discredits chaos theory, claiming diplomacy, military preparedness, and economic development work best.
