From Steve Jones:
I have loved American history, foreign policy, and international relations since I was a kid. I remember watching television coverage of the Vietnam War, the Apollo space program (which was a huge expression of American policy toward the Soviet Union), and Richard Nixon's trips to China and the U.S.S.R.
The U.S. Foreign Policy site at About.com gives me a chance to write about all the fascinating aspects of American global relations and their impact both on history and current events.
