Idealism without Illusions

George Weigel brings scholarship, spiritual values, and wit to the work of thinking about American foreign policy in the post-Cold War world America has helped to make. He points to difficult problems and shows the way toward intelligent solutions. Above all, he reminds us that ideas and values — including religious values — count and that American leadership can work to change the world for the better.—Michael Baron, Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report
