"A conservative's sober warning of the dangers of unilateralism and the temptations of empire." -Joseph Nye, author of The Paradox of American Power
"Clyde Prestowitz, in Rogue Nation, not only dares to ask timely questions that most do not dare to ask, but, more daring still, he even answers them." -Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser, author of The Grand Chessboard
"This is a most provocative, timely, and interesting book. It will undoubtedly promote a real and very necessary debate on America's relations with the world." -Peter Sutherland, Chairman of Goldman Sachs International, former Director General, World Trade Organization
"This is a provocative and insightful book and a must read for international business leaders." -Craig Barrett, CEO, Intel Corp.
"Clyde Prestowitz lucidly addresses a crucial issue: Will the United States succumb to the temptation of changing roles from sole superpower working with partners to the world's imperial power in search of followers? Will the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers lead to the dismantling of the twin pillars of the post World War II transatlantic relationship, NATO and the indispensable partnership between the US and the EU, the new Europe? Prestowitz convincingly illustrates why such a course must be avoided at all cost." -Gunther Burghardt, European Union Ambassador to the United States
"In Rogue Nation, Prestowitz says what Latin America has been feeling for so long: the United States needs to pay more attention to the global ramifications of its actions." -Rubens Antonio Barbosa, Brazilian Ambassador to the United States
"Clyde Prestowitz has written a book that gets to the core reason for the angst that afflicts America's friends today: the increasing appearance of dissonance between her principled professions and her flawed practice. Prestowitz brilliantly makes clear the many ways in which American leadership has reduced her image worldwide into one of a 'rogue nation.' This is arguably the most important book on the most important issue before us today." -Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University
"Clyde Prestowitz provides an insightful analysis of how America is disappointing the world by failing to fulfil its own values, by preaching rather than listening, and by acting against, rather than with, the rest of the world. At this critical time in America's relations with the Muslim world, Rogue Nation is essential reading, especially for Washington's leaders." -Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia
"Rogue Nation provides a compelling analysis of the current geopolitical situation and America's role in the world. With insight gained from years of living and working abroad, Prestowitz explains how many across the globe feel disappointed and betrayed by an America that seems to be turning from the international standards it has done so much to help create over the past fifty years." -George Soros
"Clyde Prestowitz makes an authoritative contribution to the debate about the United States' role in the international system, and a passionate defense of its legacy of fostering international institutions. Rogue Nation is an indispensable contribution to the present debate." -Etienne Davignon, Vice-Chairman, Belgian General Society, former Vice-President of the European Commission
"Clyde Prestowitz's timely, interesting and provocative account cannot fail to stimulate a lively debate." -Pascal Lamy, EU Trade Commissione
"Clyde Prestowitz's theme could not be more topical or more important: how does the world's only superpower see its role in the modern world? He throws a personal light on why so many of America's greatest admirers-among whom I count myself-have been concerned about the answer." -Chris Patten, EU Commissioner for External Relation
"This is a fascinating big picture look at America and its place in the world. This should help provoke the kind of discussion that we have long needed." -General Wesley Clark
"This is a brave book that should be read by all who care about America's success. A man of impeccable conservative credentials, Clyde Prestowitz directly challenges a new orthodoxy on the right-that the U.S. should aggressively pursue its own interests regardless of what others may think. No one writes with more authority and love of country." -David Gergen, Director of the Center for Public Leadership, Harvard University, former White House advisor to presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton.
"This volume is a timely, bold, and penetrating account of American foreign policy under Bush. It presents powerful liberal alternatives to moral absolutism, hegemonic unlilateralism, and offensive realism with rich cross-cultural insights. This is the essential reading for Americans and non-Americans alike who are interested in the future fate of the U.S. and the world." -Chung-in Moon, Dean of the Graduate School of International Studies, Yonsei University
"What Clyde Prestowitz has said so constructively needs saying and should be factored in to deliberations of our nation's top leaders." -Admiral Joseph W. Prueher, former Ambassador to China
Once again, he never said it was imminent. He said we needed to act before the threat was imminent, because in all likelyhood these people would not be calling and telling us when they were going to strike
he (Dean) has clearly defined himself as the anti-unilateralist
Yep, he's all for one world gov't
Bah, humbug
Anyone objectively valuing that as good advice has to then ask the question: how did the world order, and threats thereto, change after 9/11 (what did 9/11 mean?) and what actions were our foreign friends willing to take on the basis of that analysis?
The answer, from France, Germany, Belgium, etc, was "nothing". Instead they saw 9/11 as an opportunity for triangulation between the US and its enemies, to advance their own prospects and stature at the expense of the US.
So Prestowitz's analysis is fatally flawed.
I am still not exactly sure what a 'neoconservative' is supposed to be, but if I am one, I think I am capable of determining my own opinion of what Bahgdad resembles. And it has never been paradise...JFK
