Kundrecensioner
Recensioner i media
'A powerful analysis [that] raises fresh, fundamental questions about an entire range of US foreign policies that have deep roots in the American economic and cultural experience.' - Walter LaFeber, Cornell University, author of Michael Jordan and the New Global Capitalism. 'Nicholas Guyatt has done us a great service. With this book he has given us a succinct, bold and penetrating critique of the triumphalist ideology which insists on American domination of this and the next century. Another American Century? is both sweeping in its argument and rich in the evidence it produces to show the dangers to us all in the idea that our country has the right to impose its will on the rest of the world.' - Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States 'A cogent and incisive history of the present. Guyatt situates major debates about American foreign relations (the consequences of globalization, Washington and the United Nations, the role of the Pentagon after the Cold War, humanitarian interventions) in a concise but sweeping interpretive history going back to the Depression and World War II. In so doing he skewers a number of shallow and insubstantial foreign affairs pundits who may get a lot of media attention, but get few things right about the problems and perils of American foreign policy in a new century.' - Bruce Cumings, University of Chicago and author of The American Ascendancy
