Desc : From the former secretary of defense and author of the
acclaimed #1 best-selling memoir, Duty, a candid, sweeping
examination of power in all its manifestations, and how it has
been exercised, for good and bad, by American presidents in the
post-Cold War world.Since the end of the Cold War, the global
perception of the United States has progressively morphed from
dominant international leader to disorganized entity, seemingly
unwilling to accept the mantle of leadership or unable to govern
itself effectively. Robert Gates argues that this transformation
is the result of the failure of political leaders to understand
the complexity of American power, its expansiveness, and its
limitations. He makes clear that the successful exercise of
power is not limited to the use of military might or the ability
to coerce or demand submission, but must encompass as well
diplomacy, economics, strategic communications, development
assistance, intelligence, technology, ideology, and cyber. By
analyzing specific challenges faced by the American government
in the post-Cold War period--Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, North
Korea, Syria, Libya, Russia, China and others--Gates
deconstructs the ways in which leaders have used the instruments
of power available to them. With forthright judgments of the
performance of past presidents and their senior-most advisors,
first-hand knowledge, and insider stories, Gates argues that
U.S. national security in the future will require learning, and
abiding by, the lessons of the past, and re-creating those
capabilities that the misuse of power has cost the nation.
