Review

A particularly valuable book. Utilizing a large body of sources, Dueck lucidly examines a core issue of American foreign policy, namely, the essential factors that determine its 'grand strategy.'. . . His arguments are persuasive and often unique. . . . Essential. (Choice )

Realists have long lamented the periodic tendency of the United States to embark upon ideological crusades abroad. Dueck's Reluctant Crusaders goes some way in providing a causal explanation for such anomalous, and at times, self-defeating, strategic behavior. (Jeffrey W. Taliaferro Perspectives on Politics )

Colin Dueck's Reluctant Crusaders is a well-researched, cogently argued explanation of how America's internal political characteristics have shaped its strategy toward the world...[It] is a welcome starting point for understanding how America's history and beliefs have enforced a surprising continuity in U.S. foreign policy, even as international threats and conditions have changed dramatically. (Todd R. Lowery Claremont Review of Books )

Review

A nicely crafted, succinct, and informative book. The author brings structural realism back to its roots in classical realism, giving theoretical substance to domestic values that classical realism acknowledged but failed to formalize. (Henry Nau, George Washington University )
