While America sleeps
self-delusion, military weakness, and the threat to peace today
by Donald Kagan
"In While America Sleeps, historians Donald and Frederick W. Kagan retrace Britain's international and defense policies during the years after World War I leading up to World War II, showing in persuasive detail how self-delusion and an unwillingness to face the inescapable responsibilities on which their security and the peace of the world depended cost the British dearly.
The Kagans then turn their attention to America and argue that our nation finds itself in a position similar to that of Britain in the 1920s. For all its emergency interventions, the United States has not yet accepted its unique responsibility to take the lead in preserving the peace."--BOOK JACKET.
