Five: The Washington Rules

This volume is a far more fundamental critique of American foreign policy than Brzesinski's.  Bacevich is a retired Colonel in the Army, and now a professor at Boston University.  He gives a devastating critique of the premises and wisdom of the pax Americana that has dominated international affairs since the end of World War II.

  1. I do think this is a doable piece because it brings forth information that is pertinent to American foreign relations. And, I do think it would be wise to engage in an intellectual 'battle of words' to defend or critique Washington's stand on several foreign issues that Bacevich may raise.
