Balanced, judicious, thoughtful and engagingly written. --Washington Post Book World
An ideal primer for general readers trying to fathom the promise and peril of global politics. --Booklist
Hirsh's judgement is sound. His book is well-informed, historically literate, nonidelogical common sense. That may sound like faint praise, but in an America that sometimes seems poised between reckless adventure and helpless inertia, centrist common sense is something to be treasured.... Hirsh
outlines a sensible basis for detente between the warring hegemonists and internationalists, an America that leads without bullying. That is an accomplishment to be congratulated. --Bill Keller, The New York Times Book Review
A coherent and humane approach to this confusing, war-torn world in which the most dangerous war, the one in Hirsh's title, is the philosophical battle over America's role, holding us back from working for a safer planet. --Boston Globe
In this intelligent, sensible, and passionate book, Michael Hirsh blazes a middle path for American foreign policy between the extremes of unilateral bullying and naive meekness. With no trace of mawkishness or squishiness, he is on the side of the angels--and shows how Washington can be
too. --Gideon Rose, Foreign Affairs
He puts forward a strong argument in favor of the notion that Americans, with little help from their friends, have already gone a long way towards creating that integrated international society whose existence the arch-realist Hans Morgenthau denied. --The Economist
A vivid account of today's American foreign policy debate and a powerful vision of what American foreign policy should be. --Michael Lind, author of Made in Texas: George W. Bush and the Southern Takeover of American Politics
This is the best account of the tensions within American foreign policy today. Hirsh accurately describes America's varying attitudes towards the world and sets forth his own, intelligent ideas on what we should do. He moves easily from the telling detail to the big picture--and does it all in
refreshingly lucid prose. --Fareed Zakaria, author of The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy At Home and Abroad
A masterful account of American foreign policy in the Clinton and George W. Bush years. With compelling narratives of the personalities and policy choices that shaped the country's global relations over the last decade, Michael Hirsh brings into focus the ideas, turning points, and lost
opportunities in America's confrontation with the post-Cold War era. Hirsh's book is essential reading for everyone interested in American foreign policy today. --G. John Ikenberry, author of After Victory: Institutions, Strategic Restraint and the Rebuilding of Order after Major War
