TUCKER Robert W <br/><br/>
The imperial temptation:  the new world order and America's purpose 

 - New York:  Council on Foreign Relations Press,  1992 
 - 228p. 
<br/><br/> By analysing the Gulf War the authors demonstrate that America succumbed to the 'imperial temptation' to solve a problem by force than ignore the aftermath. They suggest this is not consistent with American diplomatic tradition, and is an approach which has corrupted previous great powers.
