Rather than presenting U.S. foreign policy through a narrow prism, the authors have selected twelve turning points that act as springboards for gaining a wide understanding of America's global engagement over the past century. The chapter on 9/11 and its aftermath is especially welcome."--Daniel Weimer, assistant professor of history, Wheeling Jesuit University--Daniel Weimer (12/15/2010 12:00:00 AM) "Days of Decision is an excellent classroom tool that introduces students to twelve highly readable and interesting U.S. foreign policy cases. From a historical perspective, this book is valuable in and of itself, but Nojeim and Kilroy also demonstrate how to view history analytically by examining micro, macro, and contextual factors influencing the policy-making process. In the end, U.S. foreign policy is analyzed in a carefully crafted, accessible way that strengthens students' knowledge of history and their ability to analyze it."--Michael T. Snarr, professor of political science, Wilmington College, and co-editor of Foreign Policy in Comparative Perspective--Michael T. Snarr (2/23/2011 12:00:00 AM)
