Reviews
FDR's sensitivity to public opinion prior to Pearl Harbor and the Reagan administration's manipulation of it in terms of Nicaragua are cases in point in what PW called a "probing, comprehensive survey of the role of public opinion in shaping U.S. foreign policy." Barnet warns that increasingly frantic efforts to win public approval are resulting in a depoliticized, shock-proof electorate.
