The Global Response to U.S. Primacy
by Stephen M. Walt Sep 2005
 (10 reviews)
List: $27.95
320 pages, Hardcover
W. W. Norton
|  (my rating)
Some useful information, but methodologically and substantively weak.
In the most insightful part of the book, Walt does a superlative job of describing the ways that others see America and why their perceptions differ from how we picture ourselves.
But, in my view, Walt has considerable difficulty fitting al Qaeda and other Islamic terror organizations into his conceptual framework. This is probably true for most or all neo-realists.
