Bush's election, and the fear and confusion of September 11, 2001, combined to allow a small group of radical intellectuals to seize the reins of US national security policy. It shows how, at this 'inflection point' in US history an inexperienced president was persuaded to abandon his campaign pledges (and the successful consensus-driven, bi-partisan diplomacy that managed the lethal Soviet threat over the past half-century) and adopt a neo-conservative foreign policy emphasizing military confrontation and 'nation-building'. To date, the costs - in blood, money and credibility - have been great and the benefits few, with traditional conservatives deploring Bush's approach. America Alone outlines the costs in terms of economic damage, distortion of priorities, rising anti-Americanism, and reduced security. Then it sets out an alternative approach emphasizing the traditional conservative principles of containing risk, consensus diplomacy and balance of power. 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2001- 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2001-2009 615 0$aConservatism 676 $a320.520973 700 $aHalper$b Stefan A.$0911578 702 $aClarke$b Jonathan$f1947- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809885103321 996 $aAmerica alone$94008680 997 $aUNINA
