Reviews

Prize: Winner of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award 2006 ’...a very timely and useful book...Indeed, the authors' clear writing and well-honed arguments make an informative read for the interested public as well. This concise book offers a surprisingly comprehensive view of contemporary US national security policy...a well-organized summary and analysis of US national security policy. In sum, I highly recommend this valuable contribution to twenty-first century national security studies.’ Greg Granger, Associate Professor, Northwestern State University of Louisiana, USA 'Pauly and Lansford have written an excellent and timely examination of the US intervention in Iraq that should become a standard introduction to the second Gulf War...As a history of US policies toward Iraq, the book is a first-rate reference useful to students and policy makers alike...Highly recommended.' Choice 'This is a succinct but authoritative treatment of the evolving nature of the newly announced (2002) US policy of pre-emptive first strike...a quite useful supplement for the array of courses emphasizing national security, foreign policy and international relations.'
