The book offers a critical examination of America's global influence, blending military history with diplomatic insights. Josef Joffe argues that the Bush administration's foreign policy has struggled to translate strength into international leadership and consent. Instead of criticizing America's dominant position, he attributes rising anti-American sentiment to envy and fear among nations unable to match its power. Joffe warns that history suggests even the mightiest powers face challenges from lesser nations, raising questions about America's future in global politics.
