Summary
When it comes to truly recognizing the position of the United States as the dominating world presence, nobody knows better than Zbigniew Brzezinski the path that we must, as a nation, take to ensure liberty and security. With his powerful new book, The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership, this former national security advisor urges us to make the right choice for all concerned; the choice of global leadership and multilateralism over global domination and unilateralism. You may not be able to spell, or pronounce, his name, but when you are done reading his book, you will clearly understand current foreign policy and the inherent choices we must consider to thrive and survive as a superpower.
Using his profound political and military knowledge and his ability to present in layman’s terms the most intricate foreign policies, Brzezinski first lays down the problems of global domination and American hegemony and details the dangers for United States supremacy in the world if we go down the path of pre-emptive wars, anti-Muslim raging, dehumanizing globalization and total world dominance using strongarm tactics that borderline on terrorism.
The book challenges the current Bush administration’s foreign policies on every level and makes the frightening decision that we are at a crossroads, where our choices from this point on will determine the future of America as a superpower and a world leader. The alternatives to hegemony, unilateralism and a globalization that creates a wider gap between rich and poor are also laid out, and Brzezinsky makes a great case for using our power for good and for positive leadership in the world -- which is why most right-wing Republicans hate him, and will hate this book! He does NOT espouse pre-emptive wars, killing all Muslims, pushing Christianity down the throats of third-world nations.................
