NEW BOOK > The Age of Illusions: How America Squandered Its Cold War Victory

If both 'Cold War' and 'Victory' are included in the title of the book, we can assume this non-fiction book is all about establishing the hegemony for The American Empire after World War 2 updating it all for the 21st Century.
Here's what an Amazon review had to say: 

“In The Age of Illusions, Andrew Bacevich offers a thoughtful, well-informed, and deeply humane critique of the self-absorbed grandiosity that dominates American foreign policy. He is one of a handful of sane voices contributing to the national conversation, and this is an indispensable book for our troubled times.”

> A thought-provoking and penetrating account of the post-Cold war follies and delusions that culminated in the age of Donald Trump from the bestselling author of The Limits of Power...

 

> Andrew J. Bacevich's “The Age of Illusions” details America's failures in the years following 1989.

> Andrew Bacevich is right that America squandered victory in the cold war but curiously reluctant to offer ways it might atone.

 

> “The Age of Illusions” is a wry and dark book aimed at dissecting decades-long trends and first principles rather than moment-to-moment crises. Bacevich is as merciless toward liberals who he says are guilty of “self-righteously posturing against Trump” as toward the president himself.

With books including The Limits of Power, America's War for the Greater Middle East, and Twilight of the American Century, Bacevich, professor emeritus of history and international relations at Boston University, has proven one of our most incisive foreign policy analysts. 

In his new book he charts the remarkable period since the end of the Cold War, showing that while the West’s victory seemed to validate American-style liberal democratic values, the nation’s engagement in several wars and expanded globalization led not to world peace and prosperity but to inequality, divisiveness, and Trump. https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9...
