This review is from: Globalization and the American Century (Paperback)
I'm not sure what audience Cambridge University Press had in mind when it published "Globalization and the American Century." Business and diplomatic historians will be disappointed by its superficiality and near total reliance on secondary sources. Economists will be miffed by the lack of economic analysis. General readers will be put off by the esoteric subject matter and the lack of color. Everyone will be puzzled by the meandering narrative, which hops to and fro between cultural trends, international relations, economics, and potted biography, with no apparent pattern. I have a fairly high tolerance for dry history books -- but I found myself skimming large sections of this one. I would recommend it only for college libraries.
