Negative Positive
Title: overdone
Review: Johnson has a good thesis -- there are consequences to foreign policy aims and the varying means by which those aims may be pursued. The problem is with his supporting arguments. Far too much of what he trots out to support his central thesis is very questionable factually, pure nonsense, or old canards. There is plenty of evidence out there to support his thesis. Relying on very questionable "evidence" severely diminishes his central argument. The book is not worth reading.
