Book Review Guidelines
Strategic Studies Quarterly (SSQ) publishes book reviews to inform
readers of the publication of a book of professional interest, tell briefly
what the book is about, and provide a concise evaluation of the book by a
qualified observer. Reviewers who successfully complete reviews get to
keep the books at no charge. Reviews should be interesting and written with
spirit.
