In Global Inequality and American Foreign Policy in the 1970s, Michael Franczak demonstrates how Third World solidarity around the New International Economic Order (NIEO) forced US presidents from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan to consolidate American hegemony over an international economic order under attack abroad and lacking support at home. The goal of the nations that supported NIEO was to negotiate a redistribution of money and power from the global North to the global South. Their weapon was control over the major commodities—in particular oil—that undergirded the prosperity of the United States and Europe after World War II. Using newly available archival sources, as well as interviews with key administration officials, Franczak reveals how the NIEO and "North-South dialogue" negotiations brought global inequality to the forefront of US national security. The challenges posed by NIEO became an inflection point for some of the greatest economic, political, and moral crises of 1970s America, including the end of golden age liberalism and the return of the market, the splintering of the Democratic Party and the building of the Reagan coalition, and the rise of human rights in US foreign policy in the wake of the Vietnam War. The policy debates and decisions toward the NIEO were pivotal moments in the histories of three ideological trends—neoliberalism, neoconservatism, and human rights—that formed the core of America's post–Cold War foreign policy.

Reasserting America in the 1970s brings together two areas of burgeoning scholarly interest. On the one hand, scholars are investigating the many ways in which the 1970s constituted a profound era of transition in the international order. The American defeat in Vietnam, the breakdown of the Bretton Woods exchange system and a string of domestic setbacks including Watergate, Three-Mile Island and reversals during the Carter years all contributed to a grand reappraisal of the power and prestige of the United States in the world. In addition, the rise of new global competitors such as Germany and Japan, the pursuit of détente with the Soviet Union and the emergence of new private sources of global power contributed to uncertainty.

A sweeping and authoritative narrative' The Long Road to Baghdad places the Iraq War in the context of U.S. foreign policy since Vietnam' casting the conflict as a chapter in a much broader story of American diplomatic and military moves in the region. With a keen grasp of sprawling subject matter (Kirkus)' Lloyd Gardner' one of the nation's premier diplomatic historians' illuminates a vital historical thread connecting Walt Whitman Rostow's defense of U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia' Zbigniew Brzezinski's renewed attempts to project American power into the arc of crisis (with Iran at its center)' and' in the aftermath of the Cold War' the efforts of two Bush administrations' in separate Iraq wars' to establish a landing zone in that critically important region. Far more disturbing than a reckless adventure inspired by conservative ideologues or a simple conspiracy to secure oil' Gardner's account explains the Iraq War as the necessary outcome of a half - century of doomed U.S. policies. A well - argued study that gives a sharp historical and intellectual framework for understanding the current Iraq war (Publishers Weekly)' The Long Road to Baghdad has sobering implications for a positive resolution of the present quagmire.

Geopolitics and globalization collided in the 1970s, and their collision produced difficult challenges for the makers of American foreign policy. A Superpower Transformed explains how policymakers across three administrations worked to manage complex international changes in a tumultuous era, and it explores the legacies of their efforts to accommodate American power to new forces stirring in world affairs.
