Books like The Paradox of American Power by Joseph S. Nye


What role should America play in the world? What key challenges face us in the 21st century, and how should we define our national interests? These questions have been given electrifying new significance in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Joseph S. Nye Jr. argues that America must adopt a more cooperative engagement with the rest of the world to solve global problems like terrorism, environmental degradation, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In The Paradox of American Power, he provides a clear explanation of why this is essential and how to do it.

Diplomacy by 6697696|Henry Kissinger book cover

📘 Diplomacy
 by Henry Kissinger

In this controversial and monumental book - arguably his most important - Henry Kissinger illuminates just what diplomacy is. Moving from a sweeping overview of his own interpretation of history to personal accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Kissinger describes the ways in which the art of diplomacy and the balance of power have created the world we live in, and shows how Americans, protected by the size and isolation of their country, as well as by their own idealism and mistrust of the Old World, have sought to conduct a unique kind of foreign policy based on the way they wanted the world to be, as opposed to the way it really is.
