I like the approach this book takes - examining a certain aspect of various campaigns. I've found that technique to be helpful in technical matters, i.e., seeing how 4-5 different API clients handle authentication. Interesting material, good stuff.

Contains interesting bits about his concept of "sovereign obligations". Reminded me a bit of Connectography when it discussed weakening of national borders especially with regarding to Internet-based crime.

A valiant attempt at explaining a lot of modern life. I feel like I've read other books recently that predict the demise, or at least the wane, of the nation-state.

Excellent writeup of the modern conflicts in the Middle East and suggestions as to which of the options would be least worst to pursue.
