What is U. S. Vs. Them : Conservatism In The Age Of Nuclear Terror about?

<p><b>A challenging, clear-eyed, and authoritative history of American conservatism and its grave effect on our country's foreign policy</b></p> <p>In this compelling and sometimes alarming analysis, J. Peter Scoblic, executive editor of <i>The New Republic</i>, traces the history of American foreign policy and how it has evolved from the Cold War conservatism of the 1950s to today. The belligerence, intransigence, and disinclination for diplomacy that mars the right wing once brought us to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. More recently it has failed to meet the post-9/11 challenges posed by Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Scoblic argues forcefully that the only way to face these new threats practically and seriously is by adopting an approach exactly opposite to that suggested by conservatism. By diagnosing the origins of Bush's foreign policy, <i>U.S. vs. Them</i> illuminates the path to renewed American leadership in the twenty-first century as the most serious danger ever faced looms before us: nuclear terrorism.</p>
