"'For reasons partly of necessity, partly of misjudgment, we have strayed from the course for which our experience and values prepared us into the uncongenial practices of power politics and war. The diversion has depleted our resources and our spirits; it has crippled the giant.' 'The crippled giant' is America. In this calm and reasoned analysis of our country's foreign policy, Senator J. William Fulbright speaks to a nation at a turning point, a nation whose people once again have the responsibility to decide where they want to go in the country they want America to be."--Book Jacket.
