Arquilla's provocative and counter-intuitive depiction of Ronald Reagan...contributes significantly to revisionist interpretations of the Great Communicator's presidency. -- Melvin Small, author, The Presidency of Richard Nixon, distinguished professor of history, Wayne State University
A fresh analysis of Ronald Reagan's strategic approach to foreign policy...very readable. -- Edwin Meese III, U.S. Attorney General (1985-1988)
A practical book...with a surprising end-of-the-book bonus-a set of footnotes that delight and inform. -- Seymour M. Hersh * The New Yorker *
A balanced analysis-neither an attack, nor an apology. * Forbes *
The greatest strength of Arquilla's book is that he moves beyond the Cold War.... Recommended. * CHOICE *
