“This book offers a thorough and well-written account of US foreign policy in the post-WWII era. It is the most comprehensive work I have found on the subject and is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a detailed account of American behavior in the world in the last century.”
“Hook and Spanier’s text is clear, concise, and it covers the period since the September 11 terrorist attacks more skillfully than any comparable text I’ve seen.”
“Hook and Spanier address the major points of American Foreign Policy in a concise, chronological order while also providing analysis of the major events of foreign policy. The authors do an excellent job of profiling policy from various angles without endorsing any one policy. The additional bibliography, electronic resources, and chronological chart all contribute to the overall quality of this book.”
“It is the best and most effectively presented history of US foreign policy available. It is extremely well written. Its accessibility is established by the book’s clear writing and presentation, with no sacrifice of the more challenging theoretical and policy debates regarding US foreign policy since 1945.”
“I like the historic overview”
