Rudderless Superpower

The book offers a detailed analysis of U.S. foreign policy in Africa since the 1990s, highlighting the decline of American influence following the Cold War. It examines pivotal events like the military defeat in Somalia and the Rwandan Genocide, arguing that these crises exposed a lack of coherent strategy. The author suggests that persistent Cold War-era mistakes hindered U.S. engagement, allowing China to gain economic dominance. The narrative questions whether a different approach could have altered Africa's shift towards multipolarity and whether U.S. power can be restored.
