520	1		_a"The last three presidential administrations - Bush Senior, Clinton, and Bush Junior - span less than two decades but cover a pivotally important time: a period in which the United States, having emerged from the Cold War as the unquestioned victor, enjoyed a degree of international dominance that was unprecedented in the history of the world. These three American presidents were not mere heads of state but the de facto leaders of the world." "Second Chance is a dispassionate, unsparing assessment of how the three presidents performed as history's first successive global leaders, and how that performance was influenced by their personal leadership styles. Zbigniew Brzezinski, America's most distinguished commentator on international affairs, concludes that the United States has squandered a great deal of its power and prestige. No president escapes criticism, though the blame is by no means shared equally. Brzezinski concludes by recommending how America can regain its global stature in today's era of global political awakening."--BK JACKET.
