- Summary:
-
"American power and a pervasive globalization are the central realities of today's world, and the source of its most difficult dilemmas. America's historically unprecedented power is the ultimate source of global security, yet Americans feel less secure than ever. Global interdependence and the widespread political awakening of humankind promote American dominance even as they breed anti-American envy, mobilize resentment, and empower America's enemies through the diffusion of ever more destructive technologies.".
"In The Choice, Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor, reminds Americans that their might should not be confused with omnipotence. America's well being and the world's are entwined Panicky preoccupation with solitary American security, an obsessively narrow focus on terrorism, and indifference to the concerns of a politically restless humanity neither enhance American security nor comport with the world's real need for American leadership. Unless it can harmonize its overwhelming power with its seductive but also unsettling social appeal, America could find itself alone and under assault in a setting of intensifying global chaos."--BOOK JACKET.
