Discover a sharp, insider’s look at how nations balance power, principle, and security in The National Interest: International Law & Order by R. James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence and one of America’s most influential voices on foreign policy and national security. This compelling hardcover brings together real-world experience and clear-eyed analysis to explore how international law, alliances, and global institutions actually function when the stakes are highest.
