Frakes reveals the connection between US national security strategy at the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terror. Throughout a series of crises from 1981 to 1991, the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush recognized that emerging threats to global security-terrorism, regional aggression, weapons of mass destruction, and narcotics trafficking-converged into a single growing phenomenon that they eventually called \"rogue states.\" In confronting Libya, Panama, and Iraq, Reagan and Bush created the strategies that drove US national security after 9\/11. Frakes argues that Reagan and Bush's improvised responses to crises of terrorism, aggression, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction-culminating in the Gulf War of 1991-established a lasting enforcement role for the United States against rogue states in the post-Cold War world. The effort to redefine US national security around this threat created a new framework to guide the country's approach to global security after the Cold War-one that ensured after 9\/11 that the War on Terror became a war on rogue states. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368934617461,"sku":"9781501785726","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781501785726","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
