Clean, used book with wear to cover extremities, binding tight and solid, square; pages also clean and unmarked. Stoessinger explores how the life histories of the people in power have intersected with events to create turning points in America's relations with other nations.

He gives a close analysis of crusading and pragmatic leaders, describing the two types, and through this analysis gives a fresh account of the dilemmas of the United States as a superpwower. 334 pages.Bbliogrsphy. Index. 8.25 x 5.4 inches. 1986, W.W. Norton & Company, New York.
