Outstanding book

I am Russian and have been in the US for 1 year. This is the first book I read that really explained to me unexplainable things in American foreign policy. Obviously a scholar, Mr. Steel nevertheless does beautiful work in explaining how things really work in practice without any open partisan agenda or moralistic drivel. Thoughtful and balanced book, worth reading particularly for foreigners who would like a better understanding of how American foreign policy works and what the forces behind it are.
