Reviews
Winner of the 1989 Edgar S. Furniss Book Award, Mershon Center for International Security Studies, Ohio State University "Friedberg's study is a valuable new contribution to this important issue, and both historians and political scientists will be indebted to him for it... The Weary Titan provide[s] us with the cautionary message that 'national security' in the proper sense of the term involves much more than military security."--Paul Kennedy, New York Review of Books "[Friedberg's] central conclusion is compelling: when measuring power, perceptions matter... Friedberg warns against playing the role of a world power without being willing to pay for the privilege."--Joseph S. Nye, Jr., New Republic "One of the best books ever written about the decline of a great power, in this case Great Britain at the end of the 19th century. It is instructive in the ways the United States of today may be like but also strikingly unlike Britain."--Robert Kagan, Foreign Policy
