Reviews

It is a commonplace among opponents of the recent war in Iraq that by invading that country, the U.S. administration squandered the worldwide sympathy and goodwill America had enjoyed after September 11. Elizabeth Pond's book, which is a careful analysis of the widening rift between America and Europe from 2001 to mid-2003, shows that matters are not quite so simple. - John Derbyshire, National Review, The New York Sun, 2/18/2004 What sets this book apart from so many other tales of Iraq-related woe is precisely its Fermano-centric perspective... - David G. Haglund, Queen's University, International Journal Many analyses will follow, but few will match [Pond's] in her commitment and dash... Emphatically describes the motives of the actors, traces how variously the viewpoints of Europeans, Americans, and neoconservatives - long live the subtle difference - were shaped by each group's experiences and ambitions. - Christoph Bertram, Transatlantic Internationale Politik, 2/1/2004
