5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant., May 27, 2008
By 
Dani K. Nedal (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Myths of Empire: Domestic Politics and International Ambition (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs) (Paperback)
Snyder's well researched and beautifully written piece is of immense empirical and theoretical value, trying to explain overxpansion, countering the limited application of Neorealism to foreign policy and severely injuring strategic-culture explanations (whose origins are attributed to Snyder himself in the late 70's!).
