Description

Robert Gates examines power and its exercise in the post-Cold War world through the lens of American presidents. Since the end of the Cold War, the global perception of the United States has shifted from dominant leader to disorganized entity.

The successful exercise of power is not limited to coercion or demand, but also encompasses diplomacy, strategic communications, development assistance, intelligence, technology, and ideology. Gates provides candid judgments on past presidents' performance, insightful firsthand knowledge, and compelling insider stories, arguing that U.S. national security in the future will require abiding by the lessons of the past and reimagining America's approach.

With a focus on the complexities of American power and its limitations, Gates offers a sweeping examination of how power has been exercised for good and bad by American presidents since the end of the Cold War. This book is a thought-provoking analysis of the evolution of U.S. power and its implications for national security.
