Reviews

This book will be an essential read on gender, war, and public opinion. Using a vast array of empirical evidence, it maps patterns of opinion about national security and shows that the gender gap is real but varies in important ways. An impressive achievement. -- Elizabeth Saunders, Georgetown University, and author of <I>Leaders at War</I> Spanning conflicts, countries, and time, this book is certain to become a go-to source for scholars and students to understand when and where men and women diverge towards 'hawk' versus 'dove' positions on polls, and for anyone who would like to better understand public support for defense-related issues overall. -- Deborah Jordan Brooks, The Gallup Organization, and author of <I>He Runs, She Runs</I> Richard C. Eichenberg provides an analysis that will be a landmark for past and future studies of gender differences in attitudes towards matters of national security in international affairs. Gender, War, and World Order should be highly regarded by students of public opinion and foreign policy. -- Robert Shapiro, Columbia University, and coauthor of <I>The Rational Public</I>
