About this title: From one of our most brilliant and original writers on U.S. foreign policy, a stunning and timely book on the policy of the Bush administration and its current grand strategy for the world.
Mead begins by analyzing America’s historical approach to the world—by no means perfect, but reasonably moral and reasonably practical on the whole. Then he examines the explosive foreign policy of the Bush administration and the uproar it has caused at home and abroad. Bush, according to Mead, is often strategically right but tactically at fault in his attempts to lead a divided ...

"Mead has many insights into the structure of the post 9-11 world of international relations. Power, Terror Peace and War offers some fascinating views into the state of the international community, the clash of civilizations, the role's that individual states are most likely to play and offers a full spectrum of strategies on dealing with modern terrorism. Furthermore, what I like about Mead is his focus on all kinds of power. Mead goes into much detail about using soft power, sticky power and hegemonic power, as opposed to just hard/kinetic power, which most books focus on these days. Overall I find Friedman to be more approachable and coming from a better place, but the weakness of Friedman is his most significant work to date is pre 9/11 and doesn't take into consideration the motivations and repercussions of cultural terrorism.
In addition, if like me, you listen to a lot of NPR when you're driving around and hear the capitol hill staffers throwing around terms like Jeffersonian, Jacksonian, Hamiltonian or Wilsonian, then like me after this book you'll finally know what the heck they're talking about!
Mead is a dry read. I enjoy that, but it's not for everyone."
"Reading/Read for a class. The book makes some good points about shifts in american foreign policy and the roles that Bush has had in enacting these changes that are generally perceived to be undesirable.
It's a very fast read, and i'm not sure that i like the book a whole ton, but it does have good information in it. My indifference in the book is likely to be a result of my general ignorance on historical events.
One really good point about the book is that Mead ties the american people into the issues facing the nation in some detail. He discusses our current status as americans as being a society of Wilsonian and Hamiltonian people for the most part and relates our actions as a country back to this concept."
