I'm looking forward to the critique of the - well, are you critiquing the review, or the book?

Btw, you probably have an uphill battle. What do other people who've read the book think of it? The theses this Bobbitt guy is putting forth strike me as classic normative political science, the stuff that predates empirical approaches and trendier stuff. He sounds like he's just a realist who takes the fact people make choices and have cultures seriously.

Thank you for bringing that article to my attention, I might actually buy and read that book.
