Not as scholarly as I'd hoped; this book didn't contain much original research. The information presented was too shallow and Carr's literary voice was too blustery. Although he has some interesting ideas, this seems like something that was rushed through to publish just after 9/11 and before America's war in Iraq began. (If only those in charge had paid attention to Carr's main premise that war waged against civilians is counterproductive in the long run!)
