Summary/Abstract |
During the Cold War, the United States preferred to husband, rather than expend, its military power. The idea was not to fight but to defend, deter, and contain, a cold peace infinitely preferable to nuclear cataclysm. When U.S. policymakers strayed from this principle, attempting to unify the Korean Peninsula in 1950 [1] or deploying combat troops to Vietnam in the 1960s [2], the results proved unhappy in the extreme.

Summary/Abstract |
The Iraq War teaches many things, but near the top of the list of lessons that Americans ought to learn (or relearn) is this: It's not a black-and-white world. Statecraft is not a contest pitting innocence against evil. It never has been and it never will be. Any nation choosing to ignore this fundamental reality courts disappointment at the very least and may well invite full-fledged disaster.

Summary/Abstract |
What students want (and citizens deserve) is an account of the past that illuminates the present. The conventional narrative of the twentieth century, exalting World War II as an episode in which Anglo-American good triumphs over Nazi evil, is no longer adequate to that purpose. Today, the "lessons" that narrative teaches mislead rather than guide. The moment is ripe for revisionism. Historians need to respond to the challenge, replacing the familiar and morally reassuring story of a Short Twentieth Century with a less familiar and morally ambiguous story of a still unfolding Long Twentieth Century.
