By Derek Chollet

From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the fall of the Twin Towers, this is the story of how successive US administrations struggled to understand the changing world.This intensely-researched book is the definitive account of one of the most overlooked and misunderstood eras in recent US history: the 12 years after the Cold War was definitively won. These years passed in a haze of self-congratulation, economic boom, Clintonian grand theatre, Republican confusion and angst, and ended with a stunning catastrophe on September 11 2001. With that, many Americans woke from their torpor and began to focus on the world and its challenges. But how did the US fail to notice that it had created newly implacable enemies in the world, able and determined to do harm on a spectacular scale?Derek Chollet and James Goldgeier blend deep expertise and experience in government and politics at the highest levels. This has allowed them broad access to both parties' political and policy establishments to ask those who served at the time how much they were aware that the post-Cold War dream was about to become a very bitter reality.
