Synopsis

A history of the three major philosophical (and literal) schools of US international relations following the development of the Harvard, Yale, and Chicago triumvirate from the 1940s through issues in the modern presidency. The examination contrasts theories and theorists, comparing approaches by Reinhold Niebuhr, George Kennan, and Walter Lippman. Thompson (government and foreign affairs, U. of Virginia) sketches the ideas and their proponents with the expert hand of an academic who has been involved in debates over optimism versus realism in American international relations, the disillusionments of the Vietnam and Watergate eras, and the impact of television and global philosophies on policy. Paper edition (unseen), $14.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
