Reviews
Robert M. Gates "A perceptive diagnosis and common sense prescription for what ails us as a nation. It is a practical guide for those who believe America's continued global leadership is critical in the twenty-first century, but who believe it must be anchored in restoration at home and more effective use of all the tools of American foreign policy abroad." Michael R. Bloomberg "Richard Haass is one of America's most insightful and experienced thinkers. In Foreign Policy Begins at Home, Haass explains why our ability to wield power and influence abroad will depend on our confronting pressing challenges at home. He offers a sobering look at the domestic policies that are undermining our international competitiveness-and a thoughtful roadmap for strengthening America's position on the global stage." Madeleine K. Albright "A concise, comprehensive guide to America's critical policy choices at home and overseas. Richard Haass writes without a partisan agenda, but with a passion for solutions designed to restore our country's strength and enable us to lead." Foreign Affairs "Haass delivers a cogent picture of the world and supports it with sharp and precise arguments." American Diplomacy "A must read for aspiring diplomats."
