FUKUYAMA Francis

After the neocons : America at the crossroads / Francis Fukuyama - London: Profile Books, 2006 - xii, 226 p.

Former supporter of the neoconservative movement sets out why he now disagrees with the way the Bush administration has implemented neocon ideas. Describes how neoconservatism came into being in the early 1940s and how this developed to create a particular world vision for the USA. That vision resulted in very serious misjudgments in America's foreign policy, misunderstanding of how the world would react to the war on Iraq, and gross underestimations of the difficulties of replacing Saddam's regime with a successful democratic government. Published in USA with the title "America at the crossroads: democracy power and the neoconservative legacy".
