The American Mission?

By William Pfaff
The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership
by Zbigniew Brzezinski

Basic Books, 242 pp., $25.00

Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Choice is superficially an election-year foreign policy tour d'horizon, more sophisticated in analysis and recommendations, and certainly more statesmanlike in temper, than current writings by the Bush administration's supporters. It is a nuanced expression of the conventional wisdom among American foreign policy experts, and a condemnation of the self-defeating arrogance of the Bush administration's conduct during the past two and a half years.
