“A remarkably succinct, lucid, and provocative survey of America’s post Cold War foreign policy, brimming with shrewd insights. This is contemporary history at its best. Highly recommended for students, specialists, and general readers alike.” Robert J. McMahon, University of Florida


“America’s Failing Empire is contemporary history at its finest, reflecting the quality of scholarship and thoughtful insight that has long characterized the work of Warren Cohen. He provides a stinging critique of the unilateralist imperialism currently in vogue. It is a thorough and welcome response to the academic and journalistic apologists of the American empire.” Gary Hess, Bowling Green State University
