U.S. Role

U.S. Diplomacy
The American Diplomacy website features a book review of The Opportunity, a new book on American foreign policy authored by Richard N. Haass, until recently the director of policy planning in the U.S. Department of State. The reviewer, William Harrop, is a retired American ambassador with a long and distinguished career in the Foreign Service. According to Harrop:

Haass develops the multilateral, consultative, essentially liberal American leadership approach many commentators have urged as required to address the challenges of the this century, challenges which simply do not lend themselves to unilateral or military solutions.

I have not read this book yet, but certainly plan to put it on my reading list. If any of you have already read it, please feel free to comment.
