"School Library Journal: Each book presents a series of paired articles expressing opposing viewpoints on current issues. Oil Dependence debates the state of the oil supply and the feasibility of the goal of energy independence; whether the invasion of Iraq was motivated by oil; Middle East oil dependence as a threat to national security; pros and cons of raising the vehicle fuel economy standards; and the proposal to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Rogue Nations considers the doctrine of preemptive war; whether the invasion of Iraq was justified; if the U.S. should support regime change in Syria and Iran; alternative approaches to dealing with North Korea; the value of peace efforts in Sudan; and whether the U.S. should lift sanctions in Libya. Articles are generally clear, detailed, and up-to-date; they have been written by university professors, elected officials, and think-tank representatives and while they do not directly address one another's arguments, they effectively present different sides of each issue."
