On this incisive new reserve, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the period designated by an expansive American international policy is arriving to an end. During the seven generations from the U.S. admittance into World Battle II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints almost never limited what the United States did on the planet. Now that changes. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Friendly Security and Medicare - will compel a far more moderate American international existence. In assessing the consequences of the new, less expensive foreign insurance policy, Mandelbaum, one of America's leading international policy experts, identifies the policies the United States must discontinue; assesses the actual dangers from China, Russia, and Iran; and advises a new insurance policy, centered on a decrease in the nation's reliance on foreign engine oil, which can do for America and the planet in the 21st century the particular containment of the Soviet Union do in the 20th.
