At War with Ourselves

In this book, Michael Hirsh argues that America, as the world's 'Uberpower,' has a unique opportunity to perpetuate indefinitely the global system it has built and create an international community with American power at its center.

Using vignettes and reporting from his coverage of the first two post-Cold War presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Hirsh highlights the risks and responsibilities of being the sole superpower.

He emphasizes the need for America to engage with international organizations, particularly the United Nations, to effectively address global challenges and maintain stability.

The book also discusses the vulnerabilities of Americans as individuals and the necessity of international cooperation to address these vulnerabilities.
