Three suggestions, but I feel the latter two should be dealt with as a pair. All of these belong solidly in the Political Science/Foreign Affairs genre
Worldmaking: The Art and Science of American Diplomacy by David Milne
And I'll go with the WSJ review for the blurb:
“David Milne tells the story of the hundred or so years when a sequence of public intellectuals shaped the discourse and practice of U.S. foreign affairs with confidence and élan―and guided America to its place as the world’s No. 1 power . . . That Mr. Milne succeeds, and brilliantly, is due in no small part to the vivacity and jargon-free clarity of his prose. But he also has a clever, thoughtful thesis that, while developed with great brio, he is careful not to overstate.” ―Richard Aldous, The Wall Street Journal

Now the other two books I feel complement each other in their essential viewpoints. There's a friction between them (one written by a former Obama team member, the other by a Conservative heavyweight) but I feel they're best when read back to back.
The Long Game: How Obama defied Washington and redefined America's role in the World by Derek Chollet, and The Big Stick: The Limits of Soft Power & the Necessity of Military Force by Eliot Cohen.

Also, I'm tilted towards wanting Worldmaking more, just for the broader history look.
