Billington America and the World 1986 Summary: US foreign policy has a split personality, between (1) realism-conservatism, the need for military power and political will to maintain friendly alliances to contain Soviet expansion (2) idealism-liberalism, the need to perfect and spread democracy. These might be harmonized, by a foreign policy combining prudent realism with the universal appeal of 'inner aspirations' towards political accountability, economic opportunity and religious freedom.

Discusses several "ideals drawn from the America of yesterday" which may be "relevant to the emerging world of tomorrow". read 500-word preview
