Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington's insistence on a market economy, its faith in the idea of the \"West\" and its \"special relationships,\" its conviction that military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order—these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a bold reconception of America's place in the world, informed by thinking from across the political spectrum, historian Andrew Bacevich lays down a new approach based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war only as a last resort. Confronting the threats of the future—climate change, a shift in the international balance of power, and the rise of information technology as a weapon of war—his vision calls for a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security, setting out new principles to guide the once-but-no-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter the Apocalypse\u003c\/em\u003e is a bold and thought-provoking analysis that challenges conventional wisdom and proposes a new path forward for the United States in an increasingly complex and changing global landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48240564568300,"sku":"9781250839343","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250839343-after-the-apocalypse-1.jpg?v=1787919507","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/after-the-apocalypse-by-andrew-bacevich-9781250839343","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
