Why Not Victory: A Fresh Look At American Foreign Policy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163821114)

Why Not Victory: A Fresh Look At American Foreign Policy is a book written by Barry M. Goldwater that offers a critical analysis of American foreign policy. The book challenges the prevailing notion that the United States must always seek compromise and avoid conflict in its international relations. Instead, Goldwater argues that the United States should pursue a policy of victory, using all necessary means to achieve its objectives.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Goldwater examines the history of American foreign policy, arguing that the country has too often pursued a policy of appeasement and compromise. He cites examples such as the Vietnam War and the Iranian hostage crisis to make his case.In the second part of the book, Goldwater outlines his vision for a new American foreign policy. He argues that the United States should be willing to use military force when necessary to defend its interests and promote democracy and freedom around the world. He also calls for a renewed commitment to alliances with other democratic nations.In the final part of the book, Goldwater addresses some of the objections to his ideas. He argues that the United States can achieve victory without sacrificing its values or becoming an imperial power. He also responds to critics who accuse him of being a warmonger, arguing that a strong defense is the best way to prevent war.Overall, Why Not Victory: A Fresh Look At American Foreign Policy is a provocative and thought-provoking book that challenges conventional wisdom about American foreign policy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in international relations and the role of the United States in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
