Rezensionen

Praise for National Security

Donald Snow offers a compelling approach to understanding the complexities of US national security. By moving beyond worst-case threat analysis, he grounds foreign policy in American domestic politics to reinvigorate thinking on the future of national security.

Derek S. Reveron, Harvard University

I recommend the new edition of National Security without reservation. It is a readable and informative text, and students find it useful and engaging. In addition, Donald Snow's use of contemporary as well as historic examples opens the door for many meaningful classroom discussions. I find the text essential in the discussion of the complexities

surrounding the study of the politics of US national security issues and list it as required reading every semester.

Matthew Wahlert, Miami University

Dr. Snow has once again delivered a text for its time. Rather than focusing on the institutional aspects of national security, he looks at the real issues of national security in a post-Cold War, post-9/11 world. The strong connection he makes between domestic politics and international threats goes beyond the normal "guns v. butter" debate. I am looking forward to the publication of this book so that I can adopt it for my courses.

Michael Kanner, University of Colorado-Boulder

This book offers readers an excellent introduction to national security. It skillfully combines a clear conceptual framework with thorough applications to both historical and contemporary security challenges. The book carefully guides readers through the abstract logic of interests, power, security and domestic politics, before examining the concrete manifestations of these concepts in the context of US national security from the early days of the nation to the post-9/11 world and the rise of the Islamic State.

Benjamin T. Jones, University of Mississippi
