[Javier · Rating 2 out of 5]

Overall, I was very unimpressed with this book. I would've given it 1 star if not for the chapter on Bosnia as being "between a quagmire and a Holocaust." This was the only redeeming aspect of the book for me, since I learned from that (reflecting my ignorance about the Balkan wars of the 1990's). The author is way too enamored with Foucault and post-structuralism for me. This leads him to have no material analysis of capitalism or imperialism in a book that is supposedly all about a "critical approach" to geopolitics. So much filler and excessively academic jargon here.
