What Others Say
Eye-Opening
"Foreign Affairs" presents a gold mine of articles about subjects that span the globe, printed in somewhat large type and easy on the eyes. It is published by the Council on Foreign Affairs, an independent national membership organization and nonpartisan center for scholars. In their words, "We hold that while keeping clear of mere vagaries, 'Foreign Affairs' can do more to inform American public opinion by a broad hospitality to divergent ideas than it can by identifying itself with one school."
Among the in-depth essay offerings in the July/August 2008 issue:
*a defense of the Bush policy for the past eight years by Condoleezza Rice, disguised as a defense of the "New American Realism."
Essays on Foreign Policy - Usually Proposals for Policy
This periodical contains useful articles by and for the U.S. foreign policy community (as well as concerned citizens). From a range of authors, but often preeminent scholars and policymakers, the essays usually provide a good, solid foundation and context on recent historical issues and then put forward prescriptive policy options - i.e., providing suggestons for what current or future policy should be.
I also like the book reviews contained at the end. Written by established and preeminent scholars in foreign policy, they survey the recent foreign policy literature by category and provide good, cogent, and useful reviews and summaries - useful for further reading.

foreign affairs
I still haven't received my mag. I'm thinking Foreign Affairs does not issue to APO, but then again I don't know if FA is tracking me as me or Amazon has another name for my account.
It's been a little over a month and I still haven't seen an issue.

An intelligent read
"Foreign Affairs" provides engaging views on foreign policy concerns and current events. It is an intelligent read, and, the slightly larger type makes it easy on the eyes.
Excellence
I subscribed to the magazine at the beginning of 07 and have been extremely happy with the consistently high level that each issue attains. FA consistently brings together under one roof the brightest minds the U.S. has to offer to speak on topics that they are uniquely qualified to speak on.
The magazine is a bipartisan meeting ground for professional thinkers on the right and left, and even when I find myself disagreeing with a particular article I still find those articles to be very well thought out and educational. The articles that I disagree with I find very challenging and they really help me to challenge and refine my own ideas. I am a better, more well rounded person for reading this magazine.
