Reviews
"The Grand Chessboard is the book we have been waiting for: a clear-eyed, tough-minded, definitive exposition of America's strategic interests in the Post-Cold War world. A masterful synthesis of historical, geographical, and political analysis, it is geostrategic thinking in the grand tradition of Bismarck." -- Samuel P. Huntington, "No one understands the interdependence of power and principle better than Zbigniew Brzezinski." -- Jimmy Carter, "An indisputable road map to the current geopolitical situation, and a guide on how America must conduct herself to ensure peace and stability in the future." -- Jimmy Carter, In the furor over the war on Iraq (was it justified?), the author gets back to what the debate should be about. The polemicists on both sides of this argument would be well advised to heed Mr. Brzezinski., ÝBrzezinski's¨ analysis of East Asian realities and of the complicated U.S.-China-Japan relationship is lucid and constructive and a joy to read., Brzezinski's reach is breathtaking...in a masterly fashion, he takes the reader on a trip around the world in 200 pages.... A fascinating book, and a disturbing one in the best sense of the term.

Synopsis
America's most distinguished commentator on foreign policy, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, offers a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three presidential administrations' foreign policy. Though spanning less than two decades, these administrations cover a vitally important turning point in world history: the period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War with unprecedented power and prestige, managed to squander both in a remarkably short time. This is a tale of decline: from the competent but conventional thinking of the first Bush administration, to the well-intentioned self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the mortgaging of America's future by the "suicidal statecraft" of the second Bush administration. Brzezinski concludes with a chapter on how America can regain its lost prestige. This scholarly yet highly opinionated book is sure to be both controversial and influential., America's Most Distinguished commentator on foreign policy, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, offers a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three presidential administrations' foreign policy.

This scholarly yet highly opinionated book is sure to be both controversial and influential., The "compelling" and "devastating"* New York Times best-seller by America's most distinguished living commentator on foreign policy, Former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski offers a reasoned but unsparing assessment of the last three presidential administrations' foreign policy. Though they cover less than two decades, these three administrations span a vitally important turning point in world history: the period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War with an unprecedented degree of power and prestige, managed to squander both in a remarkably short time. The tale of these three administrations is a tale of decline: from the competent but conventional thinking of the first Bush administration, to the good intentions hobbled by self-indulgence of the Clinton administration, to the mortgaging of America's future by the "suicidal statecraft" of the second Bush administration. Brzezinski concludes with a chapter on how America can regain its lost influence, if not its former dominance, in today's era of global political awakening. This scholarly yet highly opinionated book is both controversial and influential.
