"[From Wealth to Power's] tightly argued thesis addresses a question sure to be revisited.. Its conclusions are both provocative and full of implications for the world today."--Walter A. McDougall, The New York Times Book Review "Mr. Zakaria persuasively illustrates [his] argument by examining America's emergence as a great power... [His] account of turn-of-the-century American diplomacy is concise and insightful."--Aaron L. Friedberg, The Wall Street Journal "A significant contribution to the study of international relations."--Choice
