review 1: Although written before the 2008 presidential election, this book and the conversations therein have not lost their relevance. Brzezinski and Scowcroft recognize that America in the 21st century has reason to be kinder, gentler, humbler, and more cooperative than the America of the Cold War days. They continue to believe in the fundamental goodness of American values but worry that the government has gone off the rails since the war on terrorism. I didn't find myself saying "ah-ha!" more than a couple of times throughout the book, but I enjoyed reading two experienced public servants speak wisely about America's future.
review 2: A candid conversation between two former national security advisors: Zbigniew Brzinzki (from the Carter administration) and Brent ... moreScowcroft (Ford and Bush Sr. administrations) and moderated by Washington Post journalist David Ignatius regarding the future of foreign policy based upon where we have been and where the trends of globalization are taking us. The book takes a while to start into, but after the first chapter it quickly became engrossing. Extremely interesting subject matter, very informative, and surprisingly easy to understand. This would make a good read for every American who is concerned about America's future role on the international stage. less
