A World At Risk: Reshaping American Power

Walter Russell Mead’s book, Power, Terror, Peace, and War: America’s Grand Strategy in a World at Risk examines America’s historical approach to the world as well as the foreign policy of the Bush administration and its effects both at home and abroad. Mead takes a closer look at how the 2001 terror attacks have changed the political and strategic problems of American foreign policy.

Assessing both Bush and his critics, Mead offers a new approach to the war that can rebuild domestic and international support while outlining a new initiative for the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, and recommends reforms for international institutions such as the United Nations Security Council.
