“We live in an era of great opportunity. In The Next American Century, two brilliant young foreign policy thinkers argue that the growing strength of India, China, Japan, Russia and Europe, competitors but not enemies, can benefit the U.S. as long as we invest anew at home. The Next American Century provides a strong, practical, optimistic lesson that Americans should take to heart.”

--Brent Scowcroft, former National Security Adviser to Presidents Gerald R. Ford and George H.W. Bush

"This is no partisan rant. They make solid points and offer sensible solutions. . . . Their well-presented arguments are worthy of serious consideration."

--Booklist
