Sommario/riassunto |

This book's unique combination of case studies and commentaries provides the basis for a systematic discussion of the role of individual leaders and complex institutions in U.S. foreign policy making. The case studies present routine and urgent, controversial and consensus-driven decisions in nine presidential administrations--""from Harry Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan in 1945, to George W.
