Written by Senator J. William Fulbright, then-chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the book argues that great nations risk moral and political ruin when they confuse power with virtue and impose their will upon others. With the measured authority of a senior statesman, Fulbright details how American interventionism — rooted in ideological certainty and national hubris — undermines the very democratic values the country seeks to champion. The work stands as a courageous dissent against the military-industrial consensus of its time, urging a return to humility, diplomacy, and respect for national self-determination. Decades after its first publication, it remains a prescient and essential text for understanding the limits and responsibilities of superpower conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888001593563,"sku":"2026200009277-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e4e4823c-b610-49d7-b7d8-2dba15a475e1.png?v=1781752167","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009277-secondhand-the-arrogance-of-power","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
