Review

“In Time of War is a must read for students of public opinion and American political history and foreign policy. Berinsky’s careful research shows decisively the value of public opinion data—both new and old—and how such data can correct misperceptions about recent history as well as challenge misperceptions, if not myths, about the past and its often idealized politics.”—Robert Y. Shapiro, Columbia University

(Robert Y. Shapiro, Columbia University )

“Adam Berinsky’s core insight, that citizens respond far more to elite discourse about events than to the events themselves, persuasively refutes the dominant perspective in the literature on public opinion and American foreign policy. Rather than relying solely on a reanalysis of data from recent conflicts, Berinsky also undertakes a unique historical expedition into public opinion during World War II. This allows him to present a comprehensive picture across seven decades, resulting in a tour de force of methodologically rigorous and theoretically rich public opinion research.”—Matthew Baum, Harvard University 

(Matthew Baum, Harvard University )


“Adam Berninsky’s In Time of War represents a major step forward in our understanding of American public opinion and foreign policy. His penetrating analysis of survey data on public reactions to wars ranging from World War II through Afghanistan and Iraq casts new and provocative light on a variety of controversies in the literature. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest, scholarly or otherwise, in the subject.”—Gary Jacobson, University of California, San Diego
(Gary Jacobson, University of California, San Diego )

"A major advancement in scholarship on a topic that is both timely . . . and of enduring importance. In addition to being a persuasive piece of research, it is a highly readable book that would make an ideal text for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses. Indeed, the core of the book . . . should be required reading for any course on public opinion about foreign policy."—Paul R. Brewer, Public Opinion Quarterly (Paul R. Brewer Public Opinion Quarterly )

"[Berinsky] assembles some impressive and disturbing statistics that will confirm some readers'' worst doubts about how little reasoning goes into American popular feeling about their country''s wars."—Times Higher Education Supplement (Times Higher Education Supplement )
