The Inheritance
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
The Inheritance (2009) is New York Times correspondent David E. Sanger's account of the foreign policy problems George W. Bush left to his successor, Barack Obama. Sanger examines the war in Iraq, the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan and instability in Pakistan, the nuclear programmes of Iran and North Korea, and the rise of China. Drawing on interviews with officials, he argues that the Bush administration's focus on Iraq left other threats to grow.
