Ending Obama's War
Much of the material here will be unfamiliar to readers who only casually follow the topic. Some will be put off by the heavy criticism of U.S. policy, but thoughtful readers of the news will find this provocative.
PREMIUM
The Road to Tahrir Square
Gardner's coverage is more in-depth for the earlier years of his focus, i.e., under President Nasser, and, in spite of the title's implication, lighter for the past 15 years, but many titles on U.S.-Egypt relations cover relatively shorter periods (even William J. Burns's Economic Aid and American Policy Toward Egypt, 1955–1981, which is considered relatively comprehensive). Informed readers will find this useful background to current headlines on a topic likely to persist well into the future.
PREMIUM
Diplomacy and Global Governance
By setting his real-world experience on an academic foundation, Nowotny has produced a thoughtful study that will interest those in the diplomatic services and those who hope to enter.
PREMIUM
NATO 2.0
Lengthy descriptions of NATO's bureaucracy and its guiding documents are more than general readers will likely care to know about and leave Kashmeri's arguments incomplete and his policy recommendations inadequate for the quandary he describes. An optional purchase for specialists.
PREMIUM
Empire of Humanity
Although all contributors to overseas relief agencies should consider these issues, Barnett's treatment is scholarly, making this most suitable for his fellow academics and for humanitarian agency professionals.
PREMIUM
Crossing Zero
Bob Woodward's recent Obama's War focuses on the administration's AfPak deliberations, but this book provides a wider perspective. Readers with a serious interest in U.S. foreign policy or military strategy will find it helpful in thinking about a long-lived issue.
PREMIUM
The Return
Readers wanting a well-researched, thoughtful study of this significant shift in world strategic leadership will find that this book suits their needs.
PREMIUM
Facts Are Subversive
All of these essays provide informed and thoughtful commentary on events that might puzzle general readers. Those interested in global affairs who do not believe that the commentator who shouts the loudest is always correct will find that these essays aid in understanding dynamic and complex issues without dogma attached.
PREMIUM
Monsoon
The result is a rich portrait of geopolitical complexity—it is not policy prescriptive but emphasizes that the players in the region deserve increased attention from Western policymakers. Many pundits and sources can seem overly simplistic and bellicose in their foreign policy recommendations. This more nuanced discussion will appeal to thoughtful readers of current events and international affairs.
