In every recent Presidential election season, dialogue and discussion about candidates and parties often focused on trivia rather than honestly addressing serious issues. As we are well into the 2012 election season, this book should set the agenda for discussion, dialogue, and debate on foreign policy topics. Caldwell and Williams clearly lay out the various sources of threat and insecurity facing our world and specifically facing America. However, the book never drops to the level of fear-mongering of inducing helpless dread. Instead, interwoven in the discussions of realistic concerns are level-headed analyses of the policy approaches that have been used and could be used to address the challenges that we face.

This book is extremely smooth to read through, and the chapters actually deal with recent global issues and modern security problems in today's society, which I feel makes it easier to keep your attention. It's not long or overly boring, and if you need to use it for research, there are pages of citations and information right in the back.
