World of Jimmy Carter U.S. Foreign Policy 1977-1981

Based on archival research & oral interviews of world leaders THE WORLD OF JIMMY CARTER analyzes Carter's doctrine of limited American Power. Carter attempted to persuade the world that U.S. power had certain limitations. Vietnam had offered America this hard fought lesson. In the late 1970s, it was time, he said, to accept that lesson. The world's reaction was confused, few understood his policy. This reaction contributed to his political downfall.Maga, Timothy P. is the author of 'World of Jimmy Carter U.S. Foreign Policy 1977-1981', published 1994 under ISBN 9780936285238 and ISBN 0936285230.
