I loved this. The premise of the book is pretty dry, but it's incredibly interesting to read.

Felt the insights were presented really well and for someone who knew about as much as the next person about US foreign policy (i.e. not much) it was illuminating.

BALLOT, BULLETS, AND BARGAINS is an interesting examination of how American foreign policy preferences can shift and affect the presidential election.

For someone who has been studying American politics (foreign and domestic policy, and how they intersect) for many years, Armacost's book offers plenty of food for thought. Well researched, well presented, and well written. An interesting read.
