This brief text allows professors to incorporate primary sources or other materials into their courses, or to teach a one-semester course on American foreign relations. The text offers a concise presentation of material within the same framework as the full-length version ofAmerican Foreign Relations. Coverage of recent events and topics includes the war in Iraq, the Abu Ghraib prison scandal,The 9/11 Commission Report,and debates on foreign policy in the 2004 election.
