Reviews for The American Way of Peace: An Interpretation (ERIC VOEGELIN INST SERIES)
Sometimes argumentative or flippant, but always written with wit and verve, Prybyla's study offers a very personal (albelt scholarly) interpretation from a Rumanian emigre economist who has pondered and participated in the academic debates over war/peace issues of the past sixty years. - J.
