The Age of Terror: America and the World After September 11
New York Basic Books; Yale Center for the Study of Globalization 2002 0465083560 / 9780465083565 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible

Contributions by: Paul Kennedy, Niall Ferguson, John Lewis Gaddis, Maxine Singer, Abbas Amanat, Harold Hongju Koh, Charles Hill and Paul Bracken. "September 11 marked the beginning of a new era--an age of terror in which counter-terrorism will be one of the highest priorities of national governments and international institutions. How we proceed in this new war depends in large measure on the answer to a prior question: what exactly happened here and why? In The Age of Terror, eight leading historians and policymakers address this question and examine the considerations and objectives of policy decisions in post-September 11 America. / Nayan Chanda is the director of publications at the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization and the former editor of Far East Economic Review. Strobe Talbott is the Director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization and a former foreign-affairs columnist for Time magazine. He was Deputy Secretary of State under Bill Clinton." - Publisher.

Talbott, Strobe
The Great Experiment: The Story of Ancient Empires, Modern States, and the Quest for a Global Nation
New York Simon & Schuster 2008 0743294084 / 9780743294089 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine
x, 478 pp., illus., bib. notes, index; 25 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly cocked/lean. Fine DJ. "Strobe Talbott looks back to the consolidation of tribes into nations -- starting with Israel -- and the absorption of those nations into the empires of Hammurabi, the Pharaohs, Alexander, the Caesars, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, the Ottomans, and the Hapsburgs, through incessant wars of territory and religion, to modern alliances and the global conflagrations of the twentieth century. He traces the breakthroughs and breakdowns of peace along the way: the Pax Romana, the Treaty of Westphalia, the Concert of Europe, the false start of the League of Nations, the creation of the flawed but indispensable United Nations, the effort to build a 'new world order' after the cold war, and America's unique role in modern history as 'the master builder' of the international system. Offering an insider's view of how the world is governed today, Talbott interweaves through this epic tale personal insights and experiences and takes us with him behind the scenes and into the presence of world leaders as they square off or cut deals with each other. As an acclaimed journalist, he covered the standoff between the superpowers for more than two decades; as a high-level diplomat, he was in the thick of tumultuous events in the 1990s, when the bipolar equilibrium gave way to chaos in the Balkans, the emergence of a new breed of international terrorist, and America's assertiveness during its 'unipolar moment' -- which he sees as the latest, but not the last, stage in the Great Experiment. Talbott concludes with a trenchant critique of the worldview and policies of George W. Bush, whose presidency he calls a 'consequential aberration' in the history of American foreign policy. Then, looking beyond the morass in Iraq and the battle for the White House, he argues that the United States can regain the trust of the world by leading the effort to avert the perils of climate change and nuclear catastrophe." - Publisher.
