"Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus," wrote foreign policy guru Robert Kagan famously in his book Of Paradise and Power, which became an instant NewYork Times bestseller last year.

"The 12 voices Mr. Lindberg presents give 12 different answers pointing in even more directions. Mr. Lindberg's aim was to provoke, not to draw fast conclusions, and so Beyond Paradise and Power serves as a sampler of a range of opinion, all of it pro-Atlanticist and pro-cooperation but none of it bland or unimaginative." -- The Washington Times
