"Today, even as America asserts itself globally, it lacks a grand strategy to replace "containment of communism." In this book, Gary Hart outlines a new grand strategy, one directing America's powers to the achievement of its large purposes." "Central to this strategy is the power of American principles, what Hart calls "the fourth power." Constitutional liberties, representative government, press freedom - these and other democratic principles, attractive to peoples worldwide, constitute a resource that may prove as important to national security and the national interest in this dangerous new century as traditional military, economic, and political might." "Applying the best insights of strategy to statecraft, Hart finds confusion, hubris, and "theological" simplicity in America's current foreign policy. Nor does he believe the war on terror, necessary in the near term, will itself serve to chart America's larger strategic course. A vision of an America responsive to a full spectrum of global challenges, The Fourth Power calls for an understanding both of the threats we face and the profound strengths at our disposal to fight them."--BOOK JACKET.
