In clear and forceful language, [The Jungle Grows Back] makes the case for America continuing its role as the guarantor of a liberal world order. --Eli Lake, Bloomberg [Kagan] has in many ways become the biographer of American power... He brings to the page a true sense of the stakes involved--not some abstract notion of the 'rules-based order, ' but the basic security and prosperity of Americans. --Commentary The Jungle Grows Back displays the characteristic Kagan virtues of lucid writing and thought--and a strong sense of history that adds drama and sweep to his argument. --Gideon Rachman, The Financial Times This short book is a valuable read and makes a valiant effort to argue for America's continued deep engagement in the world...
