Reviews

Steding argues that Carter and Reagan's cognetic narratives, shaped by their religious faith and values, can help explain some of their most important foreign-policy decisions. The research is impressive and the argument novel. It will certainly provoke debate among historians, but Presidential Faith and Foreign Policy more than holds its own. - Andrew Preston, Cambridge University
