In this book Michael Hunt focuses on seven such crises, presenting for each an illuminating introduction and a rich collection of original documents. His epilogue considers the nature of international crises and the U.S. record in dealing with them. The case studies include:?the American entry into World War I the Japanese-American rivalry that led to Pearl Harbor?the origins of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War?the collision between China and the United States during the Korean War?the confrontation over Soviet missiles in Cuba?Lyndon Johnsons commitment to war in Vietnam?and the American entanglement in the Iranian revolutionThe studies allow the reader to see U.S. foreign policymaking firsthand and to understand it as something that is shaped by interactions with other nations and leaders as well as by American values, attitudes, and needs. To provide an international perspective, both the narrative and the documents give as much attention to foreign policymakers as to their American counterparts, emphasizing the invariably dynamic, often confused, and sometimes chaotic interaction between the two sides. 517 3 $aCrises in United States foreign policy 517 3 $aCrisis in US foreign policy 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327.73 700 $aHunt$b Michael H$0538760 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455310403321 996 $aCrises in U.S. foreign policy$9861339 997 $aUNINA
