Trade Review
"An excellent book." -- The New York Times Book Review "A perceptive work... Veteran historian Dallek delivers a shrewd analysis of why world leaders failed to deliver a better world." -- Publishers Weekly "Bound to provoke debate, Dallek's tome should engage the readership for world politics." -- Booklist "Robert Dallek brings to this majestic work a profound understanding of history, a deep engagement in foreign policy, and a lifetime of studying leadership.
