Many academics consider Obama to have been a master foreign policy strategist and shrewd practitioner of the art of realpolitik. This book demonstrates, however, that Obama in reality helped to institutionalize a permanent warfare state that resulted in gross human rights violations and contributed to Americas strategic decline. His perpetuation of the War on Terror created more enemies and prompted the United States to lose influence in the Middle East. His Pivot to Asia policy intensified prospects for regional war while his unnecessary and willful military intervention destroyed Libya and drew the Russians in to protect Bashir alAssad who won Syrias civil war. The Obama administrations heavyhanded interference in Ukraine led to effective Russian countermoves, promoting a strategic alliance with China and regional integration that is moving the world towards multipolarity.Obamas Unending Wars provides the first critical, comprehensive and highly documented history of the foreign policy of Americas fortyfourth president the drone king who ordered the bombing of seven Muslim countries, backtracked on a pledge to reduce Americas nuclear arsenal, and helped fuel a new Cold War with Russia. During his years in office Obama provided billions of dollars in arms sales to Saudi Arabia as it assisted in the crushing of prodemocracy demonstrators in Bahrain and invaded Yemen. He sanctioned a coup in Honduras which plunged that country into chaos, perpetuated a failed drug war policy and contributed to the recolonization of Africa.While any Democratic Party president would have faced peril in confronting the Pentagon which had carried out a slow coup detat over the decades, Obama was rather, in many ways, the most perfect spokesman for the militaryindustrial complex. Who else but this articulate constitutional law professor could pull off a prowar speech after winning the Nobel Peace Prize while ramping up drone assassinations and Americas network of military bases in Africa and still retain the support of liberalprogressives?As many in the time of Trump now glance nostalgically back to the Obama presidency, this book will help them to see the continuity and continuous failure of American foreign policy irrespective of the party or figurehead representing it.
