Summary:

The first edition of America Recommitted was published in 1991, just as a sweeping transformation of the international environment took place: China had reverted to a harsh authoritarian rule; the Soviet Union was on the verge of disintegration; U.S.-led forces had been deployed to Saudi Arabia but the Gulf War had not yet been fought; the former Yugoslavia was unraveling, setting the stage for later military interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo. A decade later, Don Nuechterlein updates and expands upon his previous work, offering a clear assessment of the United States' national interests and drawing conclusions about the proper role of the world's only remaining superpower.
