Reviews

One of the best sustained and systematic critiques of the foreign policy of the Obama administration I have seen. Kaufman's empirically driven theorizing is a breath of fresh air among the largely counterfactually driven theories of international relations of recent years -- Douglas J. Macdonald, author of Adventures in Chaos: American Intervention for Reform in the Third World

The verdict is in: Arguing that Obama has 'imprudently abandoned the venerable tradition of muscular internationalism' of nearly all his predecessors, Robert Kaufman brilliantly establishes what a devastating failure his amateurish grab-bag of progressive policies have been in the three key regions of Russia-Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. -- Daniel Pipes, President, Middle East Forum

A well-informed and nuanced critique of Obama's foreign policy. Kaufman shows unmistakably that Obama has a foreign policy doctrine. Read his book to get the best account to date of that 'dangerous' doctrine. -- Henry R. Nau, author of Conservative Internationalism: Armed Diplomacy under Jefferson, Polk, Truman, and Reagan
