...Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the national interest. If not always convincing, it is an effort to explain why specific ways of looking at the world keep cropping up among American policymakers, decade after decade. Rice joins - to name but a handful of luminaries - Robert Kagan, Michael Mandelbaum, Anne-Marie Slaughter and Fareed Zakaria, all of whom have recently written thoughtful, widely read books on American foreign policy and how it needs to be recalibrated after the Bush years...
