U.S. National Security and Foreign Policymaking After 9/11 deftly demonstrates the unique role of neoconservative thinkers in the George W. Bush administration who were "present at the recreation" of the national policymaking apparatus. Professor Bolton thoroughly explains the development of new post-9/11 bureaucracies, institutions, and procedures in a readable book that will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the future of U.S. national security policy. -- Rodger A. Payne, University of Louisville
