Reviews

[Charles McGonigal]

This was a good canvassing of 20th-century Western diplomacy, and provides an interesting photograph of the unipolar world of the 1990s coming off a successful invasion of Iraq by a President Bush. The mid-2000s book would read quite differently. I don't have a better recommendation, but I was disappointed in the writing style - I never forgot I was reading a textbook.

[Toni Daugherty]

My favorite book in helping me to understand countries and the concepts of power struggles and power sharing. Read only if you like non-fiction
