The eight years of the Obama Administration represented a dramatic break from the bipartisan foreign policy consensus that had held since World War II: instead of the United States asserting leadership, confronting threats to global peace, and guaranteeing the security of our friends and allies, President Obama placed his faith in multilateralism, international institutions, and in the words of his own administration, "leading from behind" in global crises. The results are evident around the globe as war and chaos engulf Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; anti-democratic forces are resurgent; and Islamic terrorist organizations are emboldened in their efforts to establish a tyrannical Caliphate. In a series of columns and commentaries over the past several years, Herb London has provided an insightful and prescient critique of the Obama Administration's feckless, even dangerous, foreign policy. This volume collects those works, and combines them into a narrative that not only provides an important history of a president's failed policies but also shows the incredible challenges facing the United States-and the world-over the coming decade. Leading From Behind is an indispensable resource for students and observers of international affairs.
