From The Founding Era Until The Japanese Attack On Pearl Harbor, The United States Shunned Strategic Commitments Abroad, Making Only Brief Detours During The Spanishamerican War And World War I. Amid World War Ii And The Cold War, Americans Abandoned Isolationism; They Tried To Run The World Rather Than Run Away From It. But Isolationism Is Making A Comeback As Americans Tire Of Foreign Entanglement. In This Definitive And Magisterial Analysisthe First Book To Tell The Fascinating Story Of Isolationism Across The Arc Of American Historycharles Kupchan Explores The Enduring Connection Between The Isolationist Impulse And The American Experience.

But It Has Overreached, Prompting Americans To Rediscover The Allure Of Nonentanglement And An America First Foreign Policy. The United States Is Hardly Destined To Return To Isolationism, Yet A Strategic Pullback Is Inevitable. Americans Now Need To Find The Middle Ground Between Doing Too Much And Doing Too Little.
