"Noah Feldman is a rapidly rising star in the American intellectual
firmament. This elegant set of essays showcases his keen
intelligence and sweeping erudition. It illuminates America's
mission in Iraq, and much more."--Fareed Zakaria, Editor, "Newsweek
International," author of "The Future of Freedom: Illiberal
Democracy at Home and Abroad,"
"If you are wrestling with the question of why the United States
is in Iraq, committed to the reconstruction of that troubled
nation, there is no better place to start than with Noah Feldman's
timely and thought-provoking new book. Deftly weaving his own
experiences in the rebuilding of Iraq, political philosophy,
constitutional law, and a broad perspective on American interests
in the world, Feldman elevates the debate on this issue above the
platitudes of the politicians."--Kenneth M. Pollack, Director of
Research, Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings
Institution
"Intervening in another country and rebuilding its institutions
after tyranny amounts to a moral promise. Noah Feldman's fine book
is a lucid, passionate, and closely reasoned examination of what it
means to try to keep that promise. There are plenty of books around
that treat nation building as a technical or military exercise.
This is the book that thinks through nation building as a moral
challenge and an exercise in promise keeping."--Michael Ignatieff,
Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University,
author of "The Lesser Evil"
"A coherent, tightly argued, penetrating, timely, and
provocative book. Noah Feldman provides both a clear-sighted
discussion of constitutional aspects of nation building and a
fascinating account of postwarIraq."--G. John Ikenberry, Albert G.
Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton
University, author of "The Nation State in Question"
