Obama's Globe: A President's Abandonment of US Allies Around the World

by Bruce Herschensohn

Overview

The international relations of the United States has changed radically from what had been U.S. foreign policy for decades under presidents from both major political parties. Those were times in which people around the world could count on Presidents of the United States to treat the U.S.A.'s friends as friends and adversaries as adversaries.The book makes no predictions other than the obvious: on January the 20th of 2013 there will be an inaugural ceremony above the west steps of the U.S. Capitol Building. It might be the Second Inaugural of Barack Obama or it might be the First Inaugural of someone else. Either way, that elected leader will be a War-Time President.

Editorial Reviews

"It's truly a critical book... Brief and powerful... It's something that the Romney campaign ought to memorize... The Dean, in my opinion, of observers of foreign policy - Bruce Herschensohn... My favorite analyst of world affairs, Bruce Herschensohn. And I mean that quite literally."—Dennis Prager, best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio show host (taken from the Sept 27 interview)

"...it is definitely a must read for anyone wishing to understand why America seems more alone in the world now than it has ever been."—ConservativeHQ

"Bruce Herschensohn calmly makes a devastating case against the foreign policy of President Barack Hussein Obama and, more importantly, offers readers a foundation on which they can build their own ability to assess American international relations going forward."—The American Spectator

"Herschensohn was once a former deputy special assistant to President Nixon, who hailed him as 'particularly well qualified in an area I find important, foreign policy. He is an expert in that area.' To have been called an expert in foreign policy by Richard Nixon is like having Pavarotti say you're a great singer. Nixon often dazzled audiences with tours d'horizon of international affairs, and Herschensohn does the same...."—Human Events

"In the first presidential debate of the 2012 election, Republican challenger Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama handily in a takedown of the President's devastating domestic policies. Foreign policy wasn't addressed, but all Romney need do to to brush up for a victory in that arena is study Bruce Herschensohn's new book."—FrontPage Magazine
