On Shedding an Obsolete Past: Bidding Farewell to the American Century - Paperback
by Andrew J. Bacevich (Author)
On Shedding an Obsolete Past provides a much-needed and comprehensive critique of recent US national security policies in both the Trump and Biden administrations.

Bacevich provides urgent and critical insights into how these failures occurred and what needs to be done to prevent similar failures in the future. He reminds us that, by understanding the past, we can alter our current trajectory and transform the world for the better.Andrew Bacevich is president and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
