"This may have been a compelling read when it came out, if only because its message -- that the "soft power" of cultural influence matters as much or more than the "hard power" of military force -- was anathema to the Bush administration. If that thesis seems hard to believe, then Nye will do a good job of convincing you. If, however, that thesis seems obvious (as it does to me), then there's little to learn here, though his argument is rigorous and provides good ammunition for others, like myself, who occasionally have to make it."
"Really good and interesting concept. The first chapter is worth reading, but the rest of the book comprises relatively redundant applications of the concept."
