A few good pieces

Here is Andrew Bacevich, one of my favorite writers, on the end of NATO. This is a nice lead in to my next IR read, End of Alliances.

Fred Kaplan's NYT magazine piece on SecDef Robert Gates is a must-read. After reading it, you will wish he held the position in 2000.

Two IR profs discuss a book from one of my grad school colleagues. Yeah, I feel lame.
