America's Place in the World

    ISD, 2000

Mr. Russel's excellent essay on the post-Cold War world contains many valuable insights. In the face of today's complex international scene, which he documents brilliantly and with a sense of humor, he points out that there is no universal field theory of diplomacy to replace the 'predictability' of the Cold War. . . What is fascinating about Russel's first-rate assessment is the number of clear insights into domestic policy motivations for U.S. leadership and our role in the 'new world. . . .' It should be required reading for anyone interested in foreign affairs, professional, amateur, university student, think tanker, business person or 'NGOer.' -- Thomas R. Pickering, Under Secretary for Political Affairs, Department of State
