Title: Very insightful - not just a rehash of events.
Product review: Overall the book was great. I found the book a little hard to read at times, particularly the treatment of pre-WWI events. It picked up nicely after WWII, and the discussion of Vietnam was fascinating. Most interesting to me was the "behind the scenes" look at foreign policy development and proof that it is easier for critics to throw stones at decisions people make than to actually make the decisions.
