My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’ve always liked Fareed Zakaria’s columns in Newsweek a lot. He always offers a balanced look at America’s interaction with our globe-mates. I enjoyed this book a lot, especially the sections comparing America’s rise to power with Britain’s, and the entire chapters on both China and India. Some critics were down on this book because they say he doesn’t offer a solution to the Iraq issue. Well… if someone was able to come up with a nice easy fix there, don’t you think they’d already be a national superstar? Anyway, this book lays out the current status of our country’s place in the world nicely, and offers some definite insight into the things we can do to maintain our status as the global superpower, even during the “rise of the rest.”
