This Study Group met to review draft chapters of Walter Mead's book, Power, Terror, Peace, and War: America’s Grand Strategy in a World at Risk, published by Knopf.
In this book, Mead attempts to provide a short and comprehensible guide to America’s strategy in the world—-the nature of the threat, the attacks of September 11, and the Bush administration’s response—-and an evaluation of how successful it has or has not been.
