 A book review just published in The National Interest (Spring
2006) stated that Hall Gardner’s American Global Strategy and the
“War on Terrorism” "… is one of the most interesting and creative
volumes among the recent plethora of books on American grand strategy.
Gardner is especially attuned to the complexity of the underlying
dynamics shaping foreign policy abroad". The book review, “Strategic
Horizons” by J. Peter Pham, concluded by discussing key concepts of
Gardner’s book in detail, with a long citation, along with recent works
on American global strategy by Robert J. Lieber, professor at Georgetown
University; Ralph Peters, a retired military intelligence officer; and
Stephen M. Walt, Professor at Harvard University and presently Academic
Dean at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. The National
Interest is the journal that first launched Francis Fukuyama’s
article, “The End of History.” |
