Same title, different subtitle: Selected Talks of Joseph W. Mathews. From my Android phone on T-Mobile. The first nationwide 4G network. -------- Original message -------- Subject: [Dialogue] Bending History? From: David Walters <walters@alaweb.com> To: Colleague Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> CC: The Brooking Institution has published a book entitled: Bending History: Barack Obama's Foreign Policy Amazon says: "The seasoned authors aim to present the first serious book-length appraisal of Obama's foreign policy. They are Martin Indyk, a diplomat with great experience in the volatile region that has seen almost unimaginable political change in 2011 (the Middle East); Kenneth Lieberthal, an oft-quoted authority on the historic rise and political economy of China; and Michael O'Hanlon, an accomplished analyst of national security policy, particularly the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. With fairness and sophistication, the authors blend their own expertise with access to major military and diplomatic players at top levels of the administration. They find little strategic coherence in a foreign policy that is notable mostly for its individual initiatives rather than unifying themes, despite what the persona of Barack Obama himself represents symbolically and rhetorically." Don't we already have a book with this title? -David Walters
