Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet

Event Details

James Mann, senior writer-in-residence at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, traces the controversies and schools of thought represented by President Bush?s top foreign policy advisers who he dubs "the Vulcans" -- Cheney, Powell, Armitage, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Rice -- back to long before the end of the Cold War. "For anyone interested in contemporary U.S. politics and foreign policy, Mann's book is a treat," according to Foreign Affairs.
