Review
"This is an outstanding historical and policy analysis. The third edition is a valuable addition to post-cold war analysis."--Stephen Brown, Webster University
"As with previous editions, Force and Statecraft does an excellent job of introducing the beginner to the evolution of the modern state system, while challenging him to think through the complexity of developing a policy-relevant theory. This new edition is really up-to-date, with an excellent, concise section on ethics and policy."--John H. Jenke, Tufts University
"A worthy succesor to the second edition, a sound and provocative book!"--James Haw, Indiana University
"Better than the original! History and theoretical issues are combined into a single short and readable volume."--Daniel McIntosh, Slippery Rock University
"This is relevant history at its best: lucid without being oversimplified, concerned with contemporary issues without being trendy. Now more than ever we need what these two distinguished scholars have given us--the melding of an understanding of historical trends with a penetrating analysis of enduring problems of diplomacy."--Robert Jervis, Columbia University
"As did the earlier editions, so this re-writing of Force and Statecraft offers an important effort to apply profound historical knowledge to the wise conduct of foreign affairs in a world, where it is recognized, war and violence may always remain a recourse." --Charles Maier, Harvard University
