Book Review: Death Waits in the “Dark”: The Senoi Praaq, Malaysia’s Killer Elite

than anyone who has written about it. This book also affords deep insights into U.S.-Soviet relations and the foreign policy views and actions of the two sides. One can disagree with the importance of ideology, but Nichols has done a masterful job explaining why it caused the Cold War to end as it did. Finally, Nichol’s research is thorough, and his writing style is lucid. Winning the World is difficult to compare to other recent books on the U.S. in the post-Cold War era. Some come to mind, though. Henry Kissinger’s Does the United States Need a Foreign Policy covers some of the same ground, but his realist approach is very different from Nichols’ view, as is his advice to policy-makers. A like realist, John Mearsheimer’s The Tragedy of Great Power Politics assesses the Cold War and its aftermath. Joseph Nye, in The Paradox of American Power, looks at the postwar period from the perspective of hard and soft power rather than the lessons to be learned. Richard Haass, who wrote The Reluctant Sheriff, covers some of the same ground but looks mostly at the new role of the United States after the fall of the Soviet bloc. Winning the World is highly recommended to students of international politics, war, national strategy, the importance of ideology in foreign policy-making, and more. It is a penetrating analysis of a period that should not be forgotten, but often is.
