"American foreign policy is the subject of extensive debate, both political and theoretical, looking for causes in domestic factors which might be the driving forces of bad policies. Benjamin Miller seeks to account for changes in US international strategy be developing a theory of grand strategy that captures the key security approaches available to US decision-makers in times of war and peace. From Truman to Trump makes a key contribution to our understanding of competing grand strategies, from some combination of realist or liberal, defensive or offensive approaches, that accounts for objectives and means of security policy. Miller puts forward a model that is widely applicable, based on empirical evidence from post-WWII to today, and shows that external factors-rather than internal domestic concerns-are the most determinative"--
