The book presents a compelling case for a proactive American foreign policy in response to the challenges of the post-9/11 world, particularly the threats posed by militant Islamic terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. It argues that the U.S. must embrace its role as a global leader, given the ineffectiveness of international institutions like the UN. By advocating for a strategy that prioritizes human rights, liberty, and stability, it positions U.S. intervention as a necessary action in a decentralized international landscape where other nations look to America for guidance.
