About this title: This prescription for America's role in the world counsels against unilateralism and favors an engagement with the world that balances U.S. military might with what the author calls its "soft power"--which is derived from its culture, values, and way of life. The author sees this as a potent force that can be used for good.

"This book is as valid today as it was before we started the current wars. It is basically an application of his Soft Power premise to current events. Clearly, its recommendations were not heeded and I'm sure Mr. Nye has been seething for the past few years, but perhaps this new administration can reestablish diplomatic and economic leadership and return to the multilateralism so desperately needed to solve our global problems--economic, social, and environmental."
"Fed up with so many people talking about 'soft power'? I know what you're talking about. Soft power became such a loose concept in daily political/diplomatic use that it lost much of its credit and explanatory power. Although this book is not the one in which Nye coined the idea of soft power, it is certainly where he applies it best. A great read for anyone who wants to understand why Bush got it wrong."
"Slightly outdated in some of the analysis due to 2002 release, but relevant and insightful none the less. For anyone not ridiculously nationalistic, and open to the idea of a waning US supremacy (not to be confused with an overturn of US power), this book is perfect to help realize why and how we should start shaping our governmental policy and interaction with the world to not only create a better life for ourselves (assuming you are American), but a better life for the global community. Would be nice if Nye would update the book to dissect the current situation in Iraq/Afghanistan and the economic crisis."
"This is a clear, concise and knowledgeable assessment of America’s role as a World Power and a brilliant guideline for international diplomacy and foreign policy."
