Editorial Reviews
Joshua J. Kearney, Harvard Crimson
"It's short, painless, and actually quite interesting, even for one without any knowledge of politics."
Review
Had President Bush adopted Shapiro's approach on Sept. 12, 2001, it is quite likely that he would have had more success in marginalizing adversaries.
(Samantha Power New York Times Book Review )
The Bush administration's post-9/11 national security strategy has come in for tremendous criticism, but opponents have had difficulty articulating a coherent alternative. Here is one. Shapiro . . . offers a brilliant sketch of a new strategic vision that draws on Cold War-era containment ideas.
(G. John Ikenberry Foreign Affairs )
It's to be hoped that Shapiro is not done--his ideas here deserve extended discussion. And as the post-Bush world starts to take form, there will be a continued need for creative thinking and the rediscovery of intellectual resources we have unwisely abandoned.
(Aziz Huq American Prospect )
Shapiro makes a convincing case that so-called rogue states like North Korea and Iran can be deterred and contained even if they develop nuclear weapons.
(Joseph S. Nye, Jr. Chronicle of Higher Education )
Americans who want more than garage logic and uninformed rhetoric should read [this] book. Bush administration officials should read [this] book.
(Roger Buoen Minneapolis Star Tribune )
Containment is both a forceful critique of current foreign policy and a prescriptive response to it. . . . Shapiro offers a series of complicated and detailed strategies to confront global terror, including greater investment in human intelligence to methodically track and stop weapons proliferation, and to his credit, he avoids oversimplification and instead offers thorough analyses of individual situations. . . . If only such a clear and thorough analysis existed before the last election.
(Joshua J. Kearney The Harvard Crimson )
The effects of the Iraq war upon the discussion of American foreign policy have come in waves. The first wave was all about competence...Now the second wave of the discussion is under way, and its subject is not competence but ideology...
