| Summary |
"In his new book, renowned intelligence agency and foreign policy expert Loch K. Johnson hews through the arguments and assertions of journalists, pundits, and politicians and offers a bold, engaging, and provocative analysis of what he claims are the seven major "sins" of American foreign policy. Looking back over several administrations - including that of George W. Bush - Johnson builds an impressive case for how the weaknesses in U.S. policy abroad have turned much of the world against America and its citizens ... and harmed our own interests in the process."--BOOK JACKET |
