Summary "With its emphasis on unilateralism, preemptive attack, and regime change, US foreign policy under George W. Bush continues the long-standing US quest for primacy - but with some radical departures from previous approaches. Superpower on Crusade offers a critical exploration of the origins and implementation of the Bush Doctrine." -- BOOK JACKET
