A new intellectual history of U.S. foreign policy from the late nineteenth century to the present

Worldmaking is a compelling new take on the history of American diplomacy. Rather than retelling the story of realism versus idealism, David Milne suggests that U.S. foreign policy has also been crucially divided between those who view statecraft as an art and those who believe it can aspire to the certainty of science.

Worldmaking follows a cast of characters who built on one another's ideas to create the policies we have today. Woodrow Wilson's Universalism and moralism led Sigmund Freud to diagnose him with a messiah complex. Walter Lippmann was a syndicated columnist who commanded the attention of leaders as diverse as Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Charles de Gaulle. Paul Wolfowitz was the intellectual architect of the 2003 invasion of Iraq--and an admirer of Wilson's attempt to "make the world safe for democracy." Each was engaged in a process of worldmaking, formulating strategies that sought to deploy the nation's vast military and economic power--or sought to retrench and focus on domestic issues--to shape a world in which the United States would be best positioned to thrive.

Tracing American statecraft from the age of steam engines to the age of drones, Milne reveals patterns of worldmaking that have remained impervious to the passage of time. The result is a panoramic history of U.S. foreign policy driven by ideas and by the lives and times of their authors.

Does your dog need a little something to take the edge off?
If your dog has a hard job of having to put up with a needy owner all day (me), this helps them step outside and take the edge off. Seriously, my dog grabs this fake cig and suddenly she’s a 45-year-old trucker named Bernadette who’s seen too much, and only calls me on Christmas when she needs had a couple glasses and feels bad for the other 364 days of the year for being an absent mother. These are cute and great quality. And honestly with the “pack” part and the three cigarettes, you technically get four toys. We’ve stuffed treats inside just for fun/enrichment and she enjoys snuffling them out (the pack opens from the top and can close). And plus with them being bigger, they fit our other dog who is larger and even our small dog gets a kick out of snatching one and running around the room like a madman. This is a fun toy to buy and we would get it again. Plus it’ll be a cute Christmas gift to order for our dog friends who have a good sense of humor.

Funniest dog toy I own!
My dog loves these and my friends love them even more. They are funny, cute and the perfect size for my beagle. It did not last very long because he’s a chewer but great value for the money!

Smaller than expected
These are hilarious and super cute. But beware, the ones I received were much smaller than depicted in other reviews as well as the advertisement itself. I ended up returning them because of the size felt silly to keep something so expensive for such a small size. Amazon happily accepted my return. But again, disappointed because they were so tiny. I can’t speak to their durability because we did not use them. But they did have a squeaker.
