520    How will Donald Trump's "America First" policy impact 
       international stability? This sobering book argues that it
       will put the country on a path toward war. International 
       relations expert Hall Gardner analyzes the twists and 
       turns of our president's foreign policy pronouncements 
       from the beginning of his campaign to the present. He 
       argues that Trump's proposed economic nationalism and 
       military buildup--if implemented--will alienate America's 
       friends and rivals alike. The unintended and perilous 
       consequence could well be to press Russia, Iran, Turkey, 
       and China into a closer counter-alliance versus the United
       States, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, and 
       Saudi Arabia. Gardner has long warned that the 
       uncoordinated NATO and European Union enlargement into 
       former Soviet spheres of influence and security would not 
       only provoke a Russian revanchist backlash, but could also
       encourage Moscow to forge a Sino-Russian alliance. That 
       Russian backlash has already taken place since the 
       annexation of Crimea in 2014 during the Obama 
       administration. Now Trump's seeming contempt of trade 
       pacts and multilateral relations, plus his confrontation 
       with both Iran and North Korea, could push Russia to 
       construct closer ties with a more assertive China to form 
       a polarizing alliance. At the same time, "America First" 
       trade and monetary disputes with allies could tempt some 
       of those states to move into neutrality or else drift into
       the Russia-China orbit. Against this dangerous and 
       destabilizing unilateralism, Gardner makes a convincing 
       case that the only workable means of maintaining a 
       peaceful world order is through patient and thoroughly 
       engaged diplomacy and a realist rapprochement with both 
       Russia and China.
