Description: In this examination of Clinton's foreign policy - the first such book to cover all the global focal points of his administration to date - William G. Hyland shows the effects of combining this confusion with Clinton's unique personality characteristics. His first term was marked, in the author's analysis, by murky policy, unrealistic goals, and the mishandling of several crises.

By the end of that term he learned some hard lessons, was able to alter his pattern of response, and reversed himself on some major aspects of foreign policy - all to benefit, in the author's view, the country and the world as a whole.
