Peter Beinart
A story about the seductions of success. Beinart describes Washington on the eve of three wars - World War One, Vietnam, and Iraq - three moments when American leaders decided they could remake the world in their image. Each time, leading intellectuals declared that history was over, and the spread of democracy was inevitable.
