Bret Stephens is an American journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2013.He works for The Wall Street Journal as the foreign-affairs columnist and the deputy editorial page editor, responsible for the editorial pages of the Journal's European and Asian editions. From 2002 to 2004, he was editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post.
His new book, “America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder” is geared to elevate foreign policy in the national conversation, Stephens makes a powerful case for American intervention abroad.
Enjoy this brief passage from the introduction to the book:
“A world in which the leading liberal-democratic nation does not assume its role as world policeman will become a world in which dictatorships contend, or unite, to fill the breach. Americans seeking a return to an isolationist garden of Eden—alone and undisturbed in the world, knowing neither good nor evil—will soon find themselves living within shooting range of global pandemonium.”
