Description: "Uberpower effortlessly mixes military history with keen diplomatic analysis to provide one of the most important assessments of America's international standing in years. Josef Joffe argues that the new Bush foreign policy doctrine has failed to convert fabulous strength into consent and leadership. In contrast to most of his European colleagues, Joffe does not paddle "Mr. Big" for his new uberpower status, but traces the roots of Europe's (and the world's) new anti-Americanism to envy, fear, and the failure to keep up with the steamroller of modernity that is America."--BOOK JACKET
