This book is written to help Americans understand how people in other parts of the world are impacted by a United States' foreign policy that often seems arbitrary, self-serving, and inconsistent with the ideals of democracy. The author is past president of the Seychelles, neighbor to Diego Garcia from which many of the airstrikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan were launched. His comments are informative and constructive for anyone interested in creating a better and more coherent US foreign policy that will lead to a more peaceful world and prevent a recurrence of terrorist attacks on America.
