Among those lessons are the severe penalties that foreign policy miscalculation can incur, the perils of strategic overextension, the constraints of public opinion in a democracy, and the virtue of consistency in threatening and using force." "The Specter of Munich concludes that the United States can learn a great deal from British and French failures of the 1930s, but the continued reliance on the specter of Adolf Hitler to interpret today's foreign security threats is a mistake. Making this analogy clouds the judgment of policymakers and the public, narrows policy options, and has and will continue to lead the country into unnecessary wars."--BOOK JACKET.
