A brilliant and visionary argument for America's role as an enforcer of peace and order throughout the world--and what is likely to happen if we withdraw and focus our attention inward.
Robert Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for The Washington Post. He is also the author of The Return of History and the End of Dreams, Dangerous Nation, Of Paradise and Power, and A Twilight Struggle. He served in the U.S. State Department from 1984 to 1988. He lives in Virginia with his wife.
"A devastating riposte to [Trump's] careless, cynical and
destructive approach to diplomacy....[Kagan] is right to detect a
crisis of confidence in the democratic world. He sets out his case
with characteristic brilliance and conviction."
--The Economist "[I]t is time to say it: I am a Kaganite... There
is no modern author who has taught me more, or changed the way I
view the world more, than he has... For identifying and clearly
explaining the chief forces driving human history, Bob is
brilliant."
--Michael E. O'Hanlon, Brookings "[S]o important... In clear and
forceful language, [The Jungle Grows Back] makes the case for
America continuing its role as the guarantor of a liberal world
order."
--Eli Lake, Bloomberg "[Kagan] has in many ways become the
biographer of American power... He brings to the page a true sense
of the stakes involved--not some abstract notion of the
'rules-based order, ' but the basic security and prosperity of
Americans."
--Commentary "The Jungle Grows Back displays the characteristic
Kagan virtues of lucid writing and thought--and a strong sense of
history that adds drama and sweep to his argument."
--Gideon Rachman, The Financial Times "This short book is a
valuable read and makes a valiant effort to argue for America's
continued deep engagement in the world... The world order is not
natural; it needed to be built and it needs to be carefully
maintained."
--Doug Stokes, Quillette
