Description
Book SynopsisPaul B. Stares proposes an innovative and timely strategy to resolve America’s foreign-policy predicament based on forging “preventive partnerships” and becoming less shortsighted and reactive.
Preventive Engagement provides a detailed and comprehensive blueprint for the United States to shape the future and reduce the potential dangers ahead.
Trade ReviewAn erudite, elegant, extremely well informed, and very thoughtful explanation of current American grand strategy, this book provides specific, finite, and feasible recommendations for improving the US government's ability to anticipate and manage the latent risks of war. -- Michael O'Hanlon, senior fellow at The Brookings Institution
