DESCRIPTION
Author makes a strong case for selective engagement as the most desirable strategy for contemporary America. It is the one that seeks to forestall dangers, not simply react to them; that is politically viable, at home and aboard; and that protects all U.S. interest, both essential and desirable. Art includes that "selective engagement is not a strategy for all times, but it is the best grand strategy for these times".
