In this New York Situations bestseller, with a fresh afterword by authors former vice leader Dick Cheney, a #1 NY Occasions bestselling author, and his daughter Liz Cheney, former deputy assistant secretary of condition, they explain the unique and indispensable nature of American power, reveal the damage done by Chief executive Obama’s abandonment of the principle, and display how America can and must lead again.

Since World War II, American power and leadership have already been an unmatched force for the defense about Exceptional: Why the World REQUIRES A Powerful America of freedom around the globe. For seventy years, presidents both Republican and Democratic possess shared a dedication to keeping American power and management. President Obama provides empty this bipartisan tradition, choosing instead to “lead from behind” as he abandons America’s allies, appeases our enemies, and apologizes because of this great nation.

Now the former vice president and his girl, former deputy assistant secretary of condition Liz Cheney, team up to explain how President Obama has significantly broken with the bipartisan foreign policy consensus that enabled America to prevail in World War II, to win the Cold War, and to triumph in the first 10 years of the War on Terror. The Cheneys reveal the damage done by President Obama’s procedures and demonstrate how his unwillingness to defend and safeguard American power has weakened the nation and diminished the ability of future presidents to defend us.

Finally, the Cheneys chart a path forwards to restoring American power and strength, explaining what must be done to reverse course of action, to fight and win the war on terror, to rebuild our armed forces and reassure our allies that they can once again depend on American leadership. A crucial, frank, and much-needed touchstone, Exceptional should stand being a guiding concept for the potential presidential applicants in 2016-and for policymakers today and beyond.
