The book explores the transformation of American foreign policy following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, marking the decline of Soviet communism. It highlights how the U.S. struggled to establish a new guiding principle after decades of containment, with leaders like George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton grappling with shifting global dynamics. The narrative extends to the post-9/11 era, where initial unity around the "war on terror" eventually gave way to disillusionment as military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq became protracted conflicts.
