In America Grand Strategy in a World at Risk, renowned foreign policy experts Eliot A. Cohen, Stephen Hadley, Robert B. Kagan, and Michèle A. Flournoy offer a comprehensive and forward-looking assessment of the challenges facing the United States in the 21st century. They argue that America must adopt a new grand strategy that is based on a clear understanding of the threats and opportunities of the current international environment.

The authors begin by outlining the major trends that are shaping the world today, including the rise of China, the decline of the West, the spread of nuclear weapons, and the growing threat of climate change. They argue that these trends are creating a more complex and dangerous world for the United States, and that America must adapt its foreign policy accordingly.
