Reestablishing America's Global Power offers a timely and incisive exploration of the United State's role in shaping the complex geopolitical terrain of today. Author John Ubaldi takes a contemporary analysis exploring the foundations, motivations, and consequences of American diplomacy in world affairs. One of the book's strengths is it's balanced treatment of America's military, economic, and cultural influence. While not shying away from critiques of American interventionism (e.g., Iraq and Afghanistan), Ubaldi acknowledges the stability and prosperity that the U.S. offers here and abroad. At the same time Ubaldi offers no sympathy when discussing the contradictions of global leadership which has led to a decline in how the U.S. is perceived. Political rivalry, internal polarization of Americans, and the declining global trust in U.S. leadership has given rise to Americas competitors. Ubaldi's inclusion of case studies, speeches, and policy documentation adds depth while maintaining a grassroots understanding of international relations theory and geopolitical analysis in world affairs. In conclusion, Reestablishing America's Global Power is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of U.S. foreign policy and its implications for global order. As the world enters yet another new era of increasing national security uncertainty, this book provides a thoughtful framework for grappling with questions about American identity, responsibility, and power on the world stage.

As someone deeply passionate about education in America, I’m encouraged to see literature that presents the facts about the current state of our education system. John Ubaldi recognizes that there’s a serious problem that needs to be addressed and he doesn't shy away from it. I highly recommend this work.

Great read. Interesting prospectives.

Ubaldi’s opinions make sense. How is the government spending so much money in education and our kids are failing in school. Government policies are creating dependent citizens who are dependent on the government to tell them what to think and what to do … not independent citizens with independent thoughts.

John Ubaldi delivers a compelling and unflinching examination of America’s declining global influence and the urgent need to reestablish a coherent national strategy. From the first page, Ubaldi challenges both Democratic and Republican administrations for failing to develop a comprehensive foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. He doesn’t shy away from tough truths—whether it’s America’s disastrous exit from Afghanistan, the rise of China, or the erosion of U.S. credibility on the world stage.

What I appreciated most is that this book isn’t written for one political party—it’s a call to all Americans to recognize the stakes. The writing is direct and passionate, with an emphasis on real-world consequences: economic instability, national debt, weakened alliances, and strategic missteps. Ubaldi connects domestic challenges like education and entitlement reform to broader international threats, showing how internal dysfunction leaves America vulnerable abroad.

This is not just a critique—it’s a push to begin a necessary national dialogue. Whether you agree with everything or not, Reestablishing America’s Global Power forces you to think critically about the role the U.S. should play in the 21st century.

A must-read for anyone serious about leadership, global affairs, or the future of the United States.

This book is by far is Jonh Ubaldi’s best work!!! His knowledge on Education and Foreign Policy is vast and informative. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper dive into our current state of government.
