Well let's see if Jay is main stream here:

---------------
Auer and Halloran, Parameters, Spring 1996, call this "an uneven book with,
nonetheless, some keen insights." However, the book "is marred by an evident
lack of familiarity with Japan."
---------------
"Mr. Alperovitz... has written what will almost certainly serve as a bible
for the next generation of revisionist scholars."
The New York Times Book Review
---------------
..........For a "revisionist" work, this is very traditional history.
Alperovitz stresses the doings of Great White Men ..........
Alonzo L. Hamby, Ohio University
---------------------------
For Giangreco, Parameters, Autumn 1999, this is simply a recapitulation of
Atomic Diplomacy and "adds little new to the mix except redundancies,
extraneous material, and a generous amount of smoke. The author's
willingness to misrepresent or ignore documents that do not support his
thesis is particularly troublesome."
---------------------

Gar Alperovitz also serves as President of the National Center for Economic
and Security Alternatives, a group that is formed to pursue total
disarmament for the world and social engineering based on a group of social
scientist's theories.
