520    A leading international finance expert reveals how our 
       national security depends on our financial security. 
       America's first secretary of the treasury, Alexander 
       Hamilton, identified the Revolutionary War debt as a 
       threat to the nation's creditworthiness and its very 
       existence. In response, he established financial 
       principles for securing the country--principles that 
       endure to this day. Here, one of America's leading experts
       on international finance shows how leaders from Madison 
       and Lincoln to FDR and Reagan have followed Hamilton's 
       ideals. Drawing on these historical lessons, Hormats 
       argues that the rampant borrowing to pay for the war in 
       Iraq and the short-sighted tax cuts in the face of a long-
       term war on terrorism run counter to American tradition 
       and place our country's security in peril.--From publisher
