A searching examination of the deep-seated sources of American behavior, Anatol Lieven's America Right or Wrongtakes on what others evade--the topics that, whether for good or ill, make us who we are and provide the engine of U. S. foreign policy. In pungent, muscular prose, Lieven makes a strong
case that the neoconservatives have gotten far too much credit for the course of American policy since 9/11. His chapter on the mutually destructive course of U.S.-Israel relations is not only courageous but powerfully illuminating. --Andrew J. Bacevich, author of The New American Militarism
