Derek Chollet is counselor and senior advisor for security and defense policy at The German Marshall Fund of the United States and an Adjunct Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. From 2012 2015, Chollet was the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. Chollet has also been a fellow at The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), the Brookings Institution, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and the American Academy in Berlin. James M. Goldgeier is a professor of international relations at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., where he served as dean from 2011 to 2017. He was previously a professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. from 2004 to 2011, an associate professor of political science and international affairs from 1998 to 2004, and assistant professor of political science and international affairs from 1994 to 1998. While at George Washington University, he served as director of the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies from 2001 to 2005 and was its acting director from 1999 to 2000. Previously, Goldgeier taught at Cornell University from 1991 to 1993. When the Berlin Wall collapsed on November 9, 1989, signaling the end of the Cold War, America and the West declared victory: Democracy and free markets had prevailed and the United States emerged as the world's triumphant superpower. The finger-on-the-button tension that had defined a generation was over, and it seemed that peace was at hand. The next twelve years rolled by in a haze of self-congratulation, what some now call a "holiday from history. "When that complacency shattered on September 11, 2001, setting the U.S. on a new and contentious path, confused Americans asked themselves: How did we get here? In America Between The Wars, Derek Chollet and James Goldgeier examine how the decisions and debates of the years between the fall of the Wall on 11/9 and the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11 shaped the events, arguments, and politics of the world we live in today. Reflecting the authors' deep expertise and broad access to key players across the political spectrum, this book tells the story of a generation of leaders grappling with a moment of dramatic transformation, changing how we should think about the recent past, and uncovering important lessons for the future. Derived from a Kirkus review: A nation becalmed becomes a nation adrift in this provocative study from the Council on Foreign Relations. When the Berlin Wall fell, triumphalist commentators declared that the United States and its lesser allies were suddenly free of history: Capitalism had won, peace was ubiquitous and America was the world's sole superpower. Lately, it seems as if the dozen years between the fall of communism and the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11 mark a mere recess. The first Bush administration was not exactly inclined to that triumphalism, write analysts Chollet and Goldgeier, though with the first Gulf War it would "try to turn [the Kuwait] crisis into the conceptual foundation of its postCold War foreign policy," the vaunted and now ethereal "new world order." This occasioned a sharp division between paleoconservatives such as Pat Buchanan and neoconservatives such as Dick Cheney, the former believing that America was a republic and not an empire, the latter that America's powerful military privileged the nation to tell the rest of the world how to behave. The Clinton administration was less inclined to commit forces abroad until its second term. Rebecca Hale (Author photograph) (illustrator). …
