Andrew Bacevich, "The Age of Illusions"

Andrew Bacevich discusses his book, "The Age of Illusions", at Politics and Prose.
With books including The Limits of Power, America's War for the Greater Middle East, and Twilight of the American Century, Bacevich, professor emeritus of history and international relations at Boston University, has proven one of our most incisive foreign policy analysts. In his new book he charts the remarkable period since the end of the Cold War, showing that while the West’s victory seemed to validate American-style liberal democratic values, the nation’s engagement in several wars and expanded globalization led not to world peace and prosperity but to inequality, divisiveness, and Trump.
