A bold and urgent perspective on how American foreign policy must change in response to the shifting world order of the twenty\-first century, from the New York Times<\/i> bestselling author of The Limits of Power <\/i>and The Age of Illusions<\/i>.<\/b> The purpose of U.S. foreign policy has, at least theoretically, been to keep Americans safe. Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become indisputably clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington\x27s insistence that a market economy is compatible with the common good, its faith in the idea of the \x26#34;West\x26#34; and its \x26#34;special relationships,\x26#34; its conviction that global military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order\-\-these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters. In a bold reconception of America\x27s place in the world, informed by thinking from across the political spectrum, Andrew J. Bacevich\-\-founder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a bipartisan Washington think tank dedicated to foreign policy\-\-lays down a new approach\-\-one that is based on moral pragmatism, mutual coexistence, and war as a last resort. Confronting the threats of the future\-\-accelerating climate change, a shift in the international balance of power, and the ascendance of information technology over brute weapons of war\-\-his vision calls for nothing less than a profound overhaul of our understanding of national security. Crucial and provocative, After the Apocalypse<\/i> sets out new principles to guide the once\-but\-no\-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world.<\/p>

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to New Legacy Books, Annandale, New Jersey, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
