Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what?"" From a review by Dr. Donald C. F. Daniel, Professor, Security Studies Program, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, ""Too rarely does it happen that someone writes a book that so crystallizes a major argument that it becomes a focal point in a broader debate. Those who would either support or criticize the administration must address its elements if they are to participate productively in the debate.""
