Losing the Long Game
In 'Losing the Long Game' by Philip H. Gordon, the author delves into the complex foreign policy decisions of the Obama administration and explores how strategic missteps led to America's diminished global influence. Gordon critiques the administration's handling of critical issues such as the Syrian civil war, tensions with Russia, and the Iran nuclear deal. He argues that a lack of cohesive long-term strategy eroded American credibility on the world stage. Through insightful analysis and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Gordon prompts readers to reflect on the implications of short-term thinking in international relations. This thought-provoking book offers a valuable perspective on the challenges of maintaining global leadership.
