More Precious Than Peace
The Cold War and the Struggle for the Third World
Description:... Rodman (Center for Strategic and International Studies) illuminates the tensions surrounding American foreign policy and presents an insider's account of the maneuvers of the nation's most powerful diplomats (Rodman served under Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Bush in foreign affairs). He chronicles the ways in which struggles in the Third World led to controversy in the US between conservatives and liberals, and discusses the evolution of the US's new role in the global community as well as current issues such as Islamic radicalism and humanitarian intervention.
