About The Book

Steve Marsh’s US Foreign Policy since 1945 is a definitive guide to understanding the evolution of American foreign policy in the postwar era. This updated second edition blends both chronological and thematic approaches to offer readers a comprehensive analysis of U.S. global strategy and its far-reaching consequences. The book explores critical aspects of policy-making, the distribution of power, democratic accountability, and the enduring influence of America’s international posture.

New features in this edition include expanded Cold War coverage, in-depth examination of the post-Cold War world, new thematic chapters, and a concluding section that ties together the central themes while offering a forward-looking perspective. Topics such as economic warfare, weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), Cold War ideological battles, and the global war on terrorism are treated with clarity and scholarly insight.

Ideal for students of politics, international relations, and history, US Foreign Policy since 1945 offers an engaging and thought-provoking introduction to the ideas, institutions, and events that have defined U.S. foreign engagement over the last seven decades.
