The early years -- The Vietnam years : Johnson, Nixon, Ford -- The Carter years : the State Department -- The 1980s : Reagan, Bush, and the end of the Cold War -- The Clinton years : the National Intelligence Council -- The Clinton years : the Pentagon -- The Clinton years : Kennedy School dean -- The Bush years -- The Obama years -- Trump, Biden, and Beyond.
In this deeply personal book, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations where he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security. After 9/11 drew the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nye remained an astute observer and critic of the Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies. Today American primacy may be changing, but he concludes with a faint ray of guarded optimism about the future of his country in a richer but riskier world.
