Condemned to Repeat It

Autor Sheldon Anderson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 dec 2007
Condemned to Repeat It examines the historical myths that underwrote U.S. containment policy during the Cold War. Anderson argues that the historical record does not support the applicability of "lessons" learned from nineteenth-century great power diplomacy, peacemaking at the end of World War One, the Munich Agreement, and the Yalta Conference.

Recenzii

It is a balanced analysis that puts U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War in perspective. Most useful to students and scholars interested in U.S. foreign policy, and for philosophical discussions that focus on how history can be used to guide policy makers in the 21st century. Recommended.
This important book demonstrates how politicians and diplomats in the post Second World War era used and abused historical analogies?about the Munich and Yalta conferences, the Vietnam War, and President Reagan's arms build up?to promote cold war policiesthat did more to spur conflict than to advance a constructive containment policy. Current and future policymakers would be well served to read this incisive work about the so-called 'lessons of history' so that they might avoid condemning their nation and fellow citizens to perpetual conflicts that serve no vital national interests.
