Talk:The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers

message: Still a stub. Will expand. I don't believe this work has been re-published since 1989 (which is actually sort of surprising). If anyone knows otherwise make note here. Marskell 10:35, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I hope my edits add to this entry and help entice others to read this book.  For me it was a long and difficult read since a lot of this history was new to me (not taught a lot in US schools).  The addition of the historical atlases helped immensely as well as a couple other historical references.
I found it quite hard to remove myself from my current political views on US economic policy while writing this and I really wanted to raise Kennedy's negative views of Reagan's deficit spending analogous to today.

thread_title: Removed Tag

message: The section mentions "... and is considered the most comprehensive overview of Great Power history." and then cites (as far as I can tell) an Amazon user review. Can I correctly assume that no one has a problem with me removing the phrase from the article? Almogo (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
