Review

“Experts are often skeptical of public views on foreign policy, but this fascinating book challenges that conventional wisdom. Page and Bouton show that the experts are wrong and American collective public opinion on foreign policy is generally coherent, consistent, and sensible. Anyone who wants to understand American foreign policy should read this book.”—Joseph S. Nye Jr., Harvard University and author of Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics
(Joseph S. Nye Jr., Harvard University and author of Soft Power: The Means to Suc )

“This work will become a classic. Certainly no specialist on public opinion and foreign policy could afford to overlook it. Beyond that, it should be required reading for anyone who cares about American foreign policy, especially those who may be somewhat disturbed by recent trends toward unilateralism.”
(Ole Holsti, Duke University )

“In its scope and detail, its array of levels of analysis, and above all, its engagement with politics itself, this study of public opinion has no equal.”—Paul Sniderman, Stanford University
(Paul Sniderman, Stanford University )

"How can a U.S. president sustain a deeply unpopular foreign policy, seemingly uninfluenced by electoral setbacks or popular disapproval? Should the president be more responsive to public preferences? In [this] important and ambitious new book, Benjamin Page and Marshall Bouton bring to bear an impressive array of survey data in order to answer these and other questions central to the study of public opinion and U.S. foreign policy."—Matthew Baum, Perspectives on Politics (Matthew Baum Perspectives on Politics )
