Robert G. Sutter was an analyst of Asian and Pacific affairs and American foreign policy for the U.S. government for thirty years. Sutter is professor of practice in international affairs at the Elliott School of George Washington University.
A carefully researched and crafted book that provides readers with a balanced view of the U.S. role in the region. Sutter writes in a compact and highly informative manner. The book is useful for readers with an interest in empirical facts of U.S.-Asia relations and students of international relations in the Asia Pacific. Contemporary Southeast Asia We've been hearing for years that the U.S. position in the Asia-Pacific is in decline in reverse correlation with the rising prominence of China. Sutter's masterful study lays aside this simplistic perspective in favor of a strongly historical, multidimensional view of U.S. relations with the Asia-Pacific and a clear understanding of the fundamental forces shaping the region. A new order is rising in Asia. This is a compelling argument for why the United States will remain a part of it. -- Mark Borthwick, East-West Center
