I really liked this book for use in a classroom. I used this book for one of my MA classes and it was easy to read and use as a reference. The editors made formatted the book well and it has a great deal of useful information on U.S. foreign policy since WWII. It's a great reference for anyone who is studying foreign policy. ( )

The textbook of choice for Doctor William (Bill) Ward at The University of Texas in Arlington. Light on theory, but heavy on realist explanations for decisions made in the 20th century by foreign policy makers. Would have appreciated if it discussed the theoretical categorizations of Realist and Moralist schools of foreign policy. ( )
