The Dispensable Nation

In The Dispensable Nation, Vali Nasr examines the United States' recent foreign policy approach, highlighting how a retreat from active global engagement has hindered progress in regions like South Asia and the Middle East. Drawing from his firsthand experience working closely with key policymakers, Nasr argues that the hesitation of the Obama administration and the rise of China and Russia pose serious threats to American influence. The book underscores the importance of American leadership and explores the potential consequences of turning away from complex international challenges.
