Recenzje

Taken in all, Kupchan has produced a first-rate account. The style is readable, the research thorough, manifesting a superior mastery of primary sources and the scholarly literature. By and large, Kupchan's treatment is masterful, essential reading for policymakers and a public that is prone to cliché thinking. Professors of American diplomatic history would do well to assign this work; at the very least, they should update their lecture notes. Hopefully, this work will force Americans to leave the world of polemics for that of reflection and responsible analysis.
