4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting thesis, October 29, 2005
By John F. Daniel (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A unique look at how domestic politics lead to imperial over-stretch. A classic in the poli sci field that will guide thinkers for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant., May 27, 2008
By Dani K. Nedal (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!).
