Description
Summary:"Donald E. Nuechterlein examines George W. Bush's transformation of American foreign policy and the repercussions for the future. Defiant Superpower recounts how the Bush administration's bold actions in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001, toppled the Taliban and displayed American strength. But by 2002 much of the world, including allies, had become alarmed by American assertiveness, particularly Bush's proclamation that America would pursue preventive wars to eliminate future threats. The divergence of national interests between the United States and old allies became acute in early 2003 when Germany and France openly rejected U.S. plans to invade Iraq and bring about regime change."--Jacket
