He received his Ph.D. in 1980. He spent the 1979-1980 academic year as a research fellow at the Brookings Institution, and was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University's Center for International Affairs from 1980 to 1982. During the 1998-1999 academic year, he was the Whitney H. Shepardson Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Professor Mearsheimer has written extensively about security issues and international politics more generally. He has published six books: Conventional Deterrence (1983), which won the Edgar S.

He has also written many articles that have appeared in academic journals like International Security, and popular magazines like Foreign Affairs and the London Review of Books. Furthermore he has written a number of op-ed pieces for the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times dealing with topics like Bosnia, nuclear proliferation, American policy towards India, the failure of Arab-Israeli peace efforts, the folly of invading Iraq, and the causes of the Ukrainian crisis.
Finally, Professor Mearsheimer has won a number of teaching awards. He received the Clark Award for Distinguished Teaching when he was a graduate student at Cornell in 1977, and he won the Quantrell Award for Distinguished Teaching at the University of Chicago in 1985.

5.0 out of 5 stars Australians need to read this.Reviewed in Australia on 8 October 2016
Verified Purchase
If you are one of the many Australians troubled by your country's constant defiance of international law by voting with the US and Israel in the UN, and tired of having our defense forces dog whistled in to yet another US war, and find the word "ANZUS" as an excuse and reason to be no excuse or reason at all, you need to read this book.
You might also appreciate "Dangerous Allies" by the late former conservative Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser which argues ANZUS is a very dangerous liability to Australia. If you think he's exaggerating remember the Bali bombings.

Material is too dense. Some portion of the content is explained in great detail that becomes too dense and monotonous for the reader.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sackcloth and AshesReviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2023
Verified Purchase
You do not have to be clad in sackcloth and ashes to read this book as a non-Jew, but it may help.
Pages and pages at the start of the book are taken up with apologies for having written it in the first place - the sheer audacity of it!
If I manage to survive the self-flagellation and get to the end, I will write a more comprehensive appraisal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that should be widely read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2019
Verified Purchase
It's such a shame that so few people will actually read this book, as it's a book that should be widely read. The authors have done an admirable job of exposing the machinations of the Israel lobby and by doing so provided the reader with some insight into the behaviour of the other wealthy interest groups manipulating the system to achieve their objectives.
I'm not a big Jeremy Corbin fan but if you're curious about why he's repeatedly labelled an anti-semite, this book will tell you.
