Ideals, Interests, and U.S. Foreign Policy from George H. W. Bush to Donald Trump

This volume discusses the presidential foreign policies of the postCold War era, beginning with George H. W. Bush and ending with the first 17 months of Donald Trumps presidency. During this period, the United States emerged from the Cold War as the worlds most powerful nation. Nevertheless, the presidents of this era faced a host of problems that tested their ability to successfully blend realism and idealism. Some were more successful than others.
