Reviews

"George Weigel has done us all a great service by illuminating the points of tangency between today's foreign policy dilemmas and contemporary moral thinking. The latter too often becomes either irrelevant or simplistic when it touches foreign policy problems. Weigel is, on the contrary, sensible, rigorous, and humane--and is gifted with a graceful prose style to boot. Reinhold Niebuhr and John Courtney Murray have found a worthy intellectual heir."-R. James Woolsey Former Under Secretary of the U.S. Navy Partner in Law, Shea and Gardner

"George Weigel provides four provocative and stimulating essays that will help to inform our national debate on critical moral issues in American foreign policy."-Joseph S. Nye, Jr. Director, Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University Author of Nuclear Ethics
