Reviews for Isolationism Reconfigured: American Foreign Policy for a New Century
"Nordlinger ... is an isolationist with a difference... He departs from the isolationist tradition ... in wanting to promote human rights and democracy through economic sanctions... [Nordlinger's] fearless iconoclasm and dogged analytical rigor command admiration."
