by Stanley HoffmannFrom the publisher:
Renowned for his compassionate and balanced thinking on international affairs, Stanley Hoffmann reflects here on the proper place of the United States in a world it has defined almost exclusively by 9/11, the war on terrorism, and the invasion of Iraq. A true global citizen, Hoffmann offers an analysis that is uniquely informed by his place as a public intellectual with one foot in Europe, the other in America. In this brilliant collection of essays, many previously unpublished, he considers the ethics of intervention, the morality of human rights, how to repair our relationship with Europe, and the pitfalls of American unilateralism.
Stanley Hoffmann is the Buttenwieser University Professor at Harvard University. He is also the Western Europe book review editor for Foreign Affairs. His previous books include World Disorders (Rowman & Littlefield, 1998), Gulliver Unbound (Rowman & Littlefield, 2004), and America Goes Backwards (NYRB, 2004). He resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"Stanley Hoffmann is the most perceptive, acute, and fearless of American experts on foreign affairs, with a viewpoint that bridges the Atlantic. His latest book is full of insights on a world of power and terror, conflict, and the elusive search for peace." — Baroness Shirley Williams of Crosby, House of Lords,
