Reviews

'There is a tendency to dismiss American arguments against war as isolationist, yet as this impressive book reveals, that view is far too simplistic. By presenting a more complex and nuanced assessment of past disputes, Debating War furthers and deepens our understanding of the diverse array of American impulses against war, as well as considering why those arguments have had limited historical success.' -Dr. Andrew Johnstone, University of Leicester, United Kingdom

David Lorenzo addresses the broad variety of such criticism and raises important questions about the relative successes and failures of such critiques of U.S. foreign policy.' - Fabian Hilfrich, University of Edinborough, UK
