Description

American Force Dangers, Delusions, and Dilemmas in National Security by Richard K. Betts explores the complexities of American national security policy since the end of the Cold War. This collection of essays examines the use of force, highlighting areas where it has been applied inconsistently and with limited success. Betts draws on his extensive knowledge of twentieth-century American diplomatic and military history to assess the effectiveness of various strategies, including humanitarian interventions, peace operations, and preventive war. He also evaluates the impact of terrorism, nuclear, biological, and cyber threats, as well as the rise of China and Russia. Through a critical analysis of these issues, Betts aims to provide guidelines for making American force more selective and successful in the future.
