Paul D. Wolfowitz by Lewis D Solomon

Paul D. Wolfowitz by Lewis D Solomon

With the announcement of his resignation from the World Bank, the ongoing saga of Paul Wolfowitz, played out in the front pages of the world's newspapers, came to a dramatic conclusion.

"Solomon provides a hagiographic profile of the ideas and actions of prominent neoconservative and Iraq War architect, Paul DWolfowitz, just recently forced to resign as head of the World Bank. Rather than attempt a comprehensive account of Wolfowitz's life and career, Solomon has chosen to focus on key moments as Wolfowitz traveled through the State Department, academia, the Pentagon, and the World Bank as means of illustrating the following themes: Wolfowitz's coupling of his longstanding quest to promote democracy overseas with US strategic national security and geopolitical interests, his belief in the global custodianship of the United States due because of its military superiority, his optimistic assessment of US capabilities in terms of money and commitment, and his support of the preemption of perceived threats." - Reference & Research Book News
