DJ worn, soiled, and small tears/chips. Front DJ flap price clipped. One of a series which studies the creation of a national security policy by focusing on what the policy has been and why. Looks at a number of different perspectives derived from events between 1945 and 1960. Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927 – December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist, adviser, and academic. He spent more than half a century at Harvard University, where he was director of Harvard's Center for International Affairs and the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor. During the presidency of Jimmy Carter, Huntington was the White House Coordinator of Security Planning for the National Security Council. Huntington is best known for his 1993 theory, the "Clash of Civilizations", of a post–Cold War new world order. He argued that future wars would be fought not between countries, but between cultures, and that Islamic extremism would become the biggest threat to Western domination of the world. Huntington is credited with helping to shape American views on civilian-military relations, political development, and comparative government. According to the Open Syllabus Project, Huntington is the second most frequently cited author on college syllabi for political science courses. Huntington was a member of Harvard's department of government from 1950 until he was denied tenure in 1959. Along with Zbigniew Brzezinski, who had also been denied tenure, he moved to Columbia University in New York. More

According to the Open Syllabus Project, Huntington is the second most frequently cited author on college syllabi for political science courses. Huntington's first major book was The Soldier and the State: The Theory and Politics of Civil-Military Relations which is regarded as the most influential book on American civil-military relations. He became prominent with his Political Order in Changing Societies (1968), a work that challenged the conventional opinion of modernization theorists, that economic and social progress would produce stable democracies in recently decolonized countries.

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [1], 427, [1] pages. Notes. Index. Inscription on fep signed by "Sam". This was Huntington's last book. Its subject is the meaning of American national identity and the possible cultural threat posed to it by large-scale Latino immigration, which Huntington warns could "divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages". Huntington focused on an identity crisis as he examines the impact other civilizations and their values are having on our own country. America was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture, including the English language, values, individualism, and respect for law. The waves of immigrants that later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated into America's culture. Our national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants and challenged by issues such as bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship, and the “denationalization” of American elites. September 11 brought a revival of American patriotism and a renewal of American identity. Huntington argues the need for us to reassert the core values that make us Americans. Timely and thought-provoking, Who Are We? is an important book that is certain to shape our national conversation. More
