Today, even as it asserts itself globally, America lacks a grand strategy to replace the Cold War's 'containment of communism'. In this visionary book, Gary Hart, until recently co-chair of the U.S. Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, outlines a new principled approach, based on the power of American ideals, its 'fourth power'.
