America First by Danny Toma
For decades, Americans have been conditioned to believe foreign policy is the policy of prioritzing the interests of foreign nations over American interests. After all, that's how previous presential administrations have behaved. But Donald Trump won the presidency because he promised a foreign policy that put America first. So what does Trump's America First foreign policy doctrine mean in practice? What does putting America first actually look like in terms of our relations with the nearly two hundred countries around the globe? This book, written for those who scratch their heads at the mention of South Ossetia or Kurdistan, will take the entire world and break it down piece by piece, showing where America's vital interests lie in the current geopolitical climate.
"America First is a clear-eyed, realistic assessment of the implications of Trumpian foreign policy across the globeIt amounts to, in short.... WINNING." -- LARRY SCHWEIKART, author of "A Patriot's History of the United States" and co-author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the American Revolution" and "How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution"
"Danny Toma, a widely traveled member of the U.S. Foreign Service, brings tremendous insight to the Trump administration's 'America First' foreign policy. Drawing on history and personal experience and breaking down the issues on a nation by nation basis, Toma shows that 'realistic pragmatism" in foreign diplomacy has a long and successful history in this nation. I highly recommend the book to all who are interested in world affairs." -- RONALD J. RYCHLAK, Jamie L. Whitten Chair of Law and Government Professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law and co-author of "Disinformation" and "Looming Disaster"
"If you've ever wondered what an America First foreign policy would look like, this is the book for you. In this richly detailed tour de force, Danny Toma convincingly argues that America would be safer, and Americans far securer, if we only intervened in the affairs of other countries if our vital national interests are at stake. Drawing upon his decades of experiences in the U.S. Foreign Service, he argues that America First does not mean America alone, but it does mean that we stop trying to impose the values of Hollywood and Manhattan on countries and peoples who have no interest in following the West into demographic and sexual suicide." -- STEVEN W. MOSHER, founding president of Population Research Institute and author of "Bully of Asia: Why China's Dream is the New Threat to World Order."
