Helpful Score: 1
Just to be clear, I don't think the Paul Kennedy that authored this book is the same academic that authored the classic "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers." That was Paul M. Kennedy; I believe this Paul Kennedy is a different British academic not the Yale professor (who is also of British origin but has been teaching in the states since '83).

Paul M. Kennedy's 2008 Yale CV lists his books as follows:
