Summary:

In The American Way of Foreign Policy, Mandelbaum offers a pithy, argument-driven primer on what American foreign policy is and why it is so exceptional. He also takes care to account for policies that cut against the model. Not every policy the US has pursued has been intended to advance liberty. Some US practices have had no apparent economic rationale in the sense of increasing American prosperity. And there have been many foreign policy campaigns that officials actively shielded from public view. A nuanced and concise overview of how and why America acts the way it does in world affairs, this will be essential reading for anyone seeking an accessible introduction to this all-important subject.
