The Hell of Good Intentions: America's Foreign Policy Elite and the Decline of U.S. Primacy examines the failures of recent U.S. foreign policy under administrations including those of Clinton, Bush, and Obama. Stephen M. Walt argues that the foreign-policy establishment has avoided accountability for repeated mistakes and proposes a more restrained approach to preserving U.S. interests.
