Book Description
Breslin demonstrates that, for two millennia, pleasure has been more effective than pain in defending and advancing the long-term interests of states in foreign affairs. Whether shaped by Asian, European, or American culture, pleasure has demonstrated its effectiveness as a weapon of the strong and the weak alike.
