.The Post-American World

by: Fareed Zakaria

May 05, 2008
The Post-American World

I got a great price and excellent service on the delivery of this book. Zakaria's book is very provocative, and challenges most of the assumptions we have inherited about America from our parents. He gives us a sypathetic look at America from a world that is moving beyond the cold war, in many places faster than we are.

.The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad, Revised Edition

by: Fareed Zakaria

October 08, 2007
Zakaria is a brilliant mind. I was first introduced to him by some of his writings in Newsweek. His one page articles are often insightful and offer readers new perspectives. I didn't like everything about this book but yet I cannot resist giving it a perfect 5 stars. Zakaria offers readers a new model of looking at societies. His book reminded me of Jarred Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel". Both these books tackle the topic of why certain countries and regions are more prosperous. For example, why are governments in Europe and USA so much more effective than those in the Middle East? Unlike Diamond's book, Zakaria acknowledges many factors including luck. His analysis incorporates many disciplines such as history, religion, philosophy and of ... Read More:

.The American Encounter: The United States And The Making Of The Modern World: Essays From 75 Years Of Foreign Affairs

by: James F., Jr." Hoge, Fareed Zakaria

August 27, 1998
The essays in this volume range from extremely good to outstanding to outright brilliant. Collectively, these forty-two essays chronicle the evolution of American foreign policy-its intellectual and political struggle to deal with the world since 1922. This compilation is divided into decades-1930s, 1940s, and so on, each dealing with the dominant themes of that decade, ranging from the founding of Foreign Affairs in 1922 to its 75th anniversary in 1997.

Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of essays: on one hand are those essays for which the reader will have a historical interest-as a snapshot of contemporary debates; on the other, there are essays which probe timeless themes and their ideas can be as applicable today as they were when they ...

.The American Encounter: The United States and the Making of the Modern World Essays from 75 Years of Foreign Affairs

from: Basic Books

1997-09
This is an amazing book! Imagine been taken on a ride through the twentieth century by the people who made it and wrote about it at the time -- Nikolai Bukharin, Henry Stimson, Kissinger, Margaret Mead, Alexander Solzhenitsyn. All the articles are interesting, many are just dazzling. You go from inter-war isolation to World War II to the Cold War to Vietnam to the collapse of communism to today. The last section -- of essays from the 1990s -- puts you right in place to understand the global trends of the next century. And the book has great photographs. It will prove a continuing pleasure to own this book
