Lansford (political science, University of Southern Mississippi-Hattiesburg) overviews the main figures, conflicts, events, and polices of the US in the post-Cold War era. He explores the main elements of US foreign policy and the regional and international reaction to American policies from the presidency of George H. W. Bush to that of George W. Bush. Alphabetical entries, most about one page long, analyze the underlying themes of US diplomacy and the new policies formed and implemented in response to broad changes in global politics. The reference also includes a chronology of events from 1991 to 2007, an introduction highlighting important themes of the era, cross-references, and appendixes of major documents. The extensive bibliography of print resources (27 pages) is divided into 26 topics. * Reference and Research Book News *
