Industry Reviews
"His ruling assumptions are profoundly conservative and static. His civilizations are unified, self-contained compartments, not the promiscuously interacting, heterogeneous and constantly changing amoebas we know them to be."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Ignatieff (12/01/1996)
"The book is studded with insights, flashes of raw brilliance, great learning, and, in particular, an ability to see the familiar in a new and provocative way. Ye in the end, it doesn't convince. One might venture to think there will be few books published this year which are, at one and the same time, so stimulating and so maddening."
Washington Post Book World - Michael Elliot (12/01/1996)
'Sam Huntington, one of the West's most eminent political scientists, presents a challenging framework for understanding the realities of global politics in the next century."
Ad - Henry A. Kissinger
"An intellectual tour de force: bold, imaginative, and provocative."
ad - Zbigniew Brzezinski
"...[A] powerful and disturbing book."
New York Review of Books - William H. McNeill (01/09/1997)
"This is one of those rare books from academe which will shape the times as well as reflect them."
Spectator - Timothy Mo (04/12/1997)
"A benchmark for informed speculations on those always fascinating questions: Just where are we in history? What hidden hand is controlling our destiny?...A searching reflection of our global state."
New York Times - Richard Bernstein
"Dazzling in its scope and grasp of the intricacies of contemporary global politics."
Wall Street Journal - Francis Fukuyama
"The most catalytic work of its sort since 'The End of History'."
