Richard Haass/Bibliography


 * War of Necessity, War of Choice (2009) comparing decisionmaking in the Gulf War and the Iraq War
 * The Opportunity (2005) "This is a book that describes an unprecedented moment in which the United States has a chance to bring about a world where most people are safe, free, and can enjoy a decent standard of living."
 * The Reluctant Sheriff (1998), dealing with the role of the U.S. after the end of the Cold War
 * Economic Sanctions and American Diplomacy (1998) “Sanctions don’t work” is an often-heard refrain. The reality, though, is more complex. Sanctions—mostly economic but also political and military penalties aimed at states or other entities to alter political and/or military behavior—almost always have consequences, sometimes desirable, at other times unwanted and unexpected.
