The book was illuminating a new concept of thinking in international relations. The term 'soft power' has been first coined by Joseph S. Nyer in 1980s and has been used since by politicians, journalists and columnists. The writer brings up the intention of writing the book to take out the misleading conception of the concept which many have misunderstood. He divides the book into five chapters where most of them focus on American soft power. Most of the book covers the era of Iraq invasion and the distortion of US soft image/power or its attractiveness. Many aspects of soft power are missing in the book. The writers major concentration is on American soft power. And also the book only covers the post 9/11 with cold war in few occasions discussed. Over all the book is a good read.
