The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities (Henry L. Stimson Lectures)

The Great Delusion by John Mearsheimer is a groundbreaking book that challenges the conventional wisdom of American foreign policy since the Cold War.

This thought-provoking work argues that the United States' pursuit of liberal hegemony is doomed to fail and offers a more realistic approach based on a deep understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad.

With a lucid and compelling writing style, Mearsheimer provides a comprehensive critique of American foreign policy, shedding light on the flaws that have led to the current state of militarization and conflict.

This book is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.
