Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Superpower: Three Choices for America's Role in the World by Ian Bremmer, read by Willis Sparks.

Geopolitical thought leader Ian Bremmer issues a clarion call to America: redefine your place in the world, or the world will define it for you. America's identity abroad has long been defined by the Second World War and years of Cold War struggle. But the new America has changed; its role and identity are in flux - and with them the global balance of power.

In Superpower, president and founder of the Eurasia Group Ian Bremmer calls for a completely new definition of America as a superpower - one that adheres to distinct priorities and values. He outlines the three choices facing the new America:

Be independent: America does not have an endless supply of blood and finances to spend on other nations. Rather, America will fare much better if it devotes its energies and resources to rebuilding strength from within.

Moneyball: America cannot afford every foreign fight in support of American values, but they must defend their interests wherever they are threatened. They must make tough decisions intelligently, with an open admission of America's limitations.

Be indispensable: to think that America can operate autonomously from the rest of the world is not only ignorant but also extremely dangerous. The world relies on American leadership, and America has international interests - they must continue their role as an indispensable nation and remain actively involved abroad.

As the 2016 presidential election approaches, America needs to define its responsibilities, it opportunities, and, most importantly, its limits. A foreign policy divided against itself cannot stand; as the world's greatest superpower, America must choose which path it will follow into the future.

The author begins by presenting ten multiple choice questions relating to the future foreign policy direction for our country. He then provides compelling arguments for an Independent America, a Moneyball America, and an Indispensable America and answers the multiple choice questions from each perspective. I found his inclusion of the Powell Doctrine very valuable - these are necessary questions that must all be answered affirmatively by any administration before it decides to engage in war. While I didn't concur with the author's conclusion regarding America's future foreign policy direction, I found the book stimulated a lively discussion by my reading group.

Free to Choose, Foreign Policy Style...

This is a book that lays out the arguments for three different paths for American foreign policy. The author asks that you consider the arguments for each and decide for yourself which is the best path. He gives his choice and reasoning in the conclusion. It is well written and easy to understand but it helps if you have an interest in foreign affairsâa good book for a political science class and a must-read for any politician, and I must say, Rand Paul could have written the conclusion.

I went in with my own ideas on the best foreign policy for America and after reading this book my ideas have been reinforced. I choose âIndependent Americaâ but I found that the Authorâs arguments in favor of this path were not completely in line with mine.
