[Dale · Rating 5 out of 5]

Issued at the US Army War College this is a great book for an all inclusive look at American Foreign Policy. The author provides context, asks questions at the end of each section for reflection, and provides suggested further readings. There is a shelf life for the information about the current state of affairs, hence it being the twelfth edition.

Sloppy history within.

Not horrible for a textbook.

[J. Tayler Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s is a textbook on American foreign policy. It’s does it’s job well. It remains unbiased on the topic and presents the facts what American foreign policy has consisted of from about World War II until the end of Obama’s presidency. Not much more can be said.

Using this book and Jentleson's textbook contiguously was the best decision. The synergistic benefit was invaluable to say the least!
