It is a simple fact that no president in American history brought less foreign policy experience to the White House than Donald J. Trump.

If the cost of his 'America First' agenda was bulldozing the edifice of foreign alliances that had been carefully tended by every president from Truman to Obama, then so be it. Trump and His Generals is Peter Bergen's riveting account of what happened when the unstoppable force of President Trump met the immovable object of America's national security establishment.
