The Mighty and the Almighty: United States Foreign Policy and God

In The Mighty and the Almighty, Madeleine Albright examines the profound impact of religion on America’s view of itself, the effect of U.S. policy of the rise of the Christian right, the Bush administration’s successes and failures in responding to 9/11, the challenges posed by the war in Iraq, and the importance of understanding Islam. She offers a balanced but, when necessary, devastating analysis of U.S. strategy and condemns those of all faiths who exploit religious fervor to create divisions or enhance their own power.
