Pulitzer Prize winner Bret Stephens’ new book looks at an America in retreat from global engagement.

Stephens argues the only alternative to American global dominance are three failed approaches to security: liberal peace, balance of power, and collective security.

But future readers interested in learning about the era in which America decided to withdraw from its responsibilities as global hegemon should turn to Stephens’ book, which is not merely a critique of the Obama administration but a more general endorsement of America’s role as world policeman.
