5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically useful, October 9, 2005
I read Gowa's book for a graduate course, and found it to be immensely helpful for contextualizing international relations debate. She writes in a clear style and her insights are well-articulated. Highly recommended - research is also meticulous and precisely documented.
