Dolman, Choice, Feb. 1999, notes that the author focuses on showing that intelligence plays an interactive role in the policy process and that intelligence analysis and crisis decision making undertaken in isolation from each other produce negative consequences. Three case studies from the Reagan Administration's foreign policy initiatives in Lebanon are offered: the terrorist attacks in 1983 on the U.S. Embasy and the Marine barracks, the 1984 attack on the U.S. Embassy and the kidnapping of CIA Station Chief William Buckley, and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985.

Surveillant 3.2/3 sees Shultz presenting "a candid picture of his struggles with the NSC staff and particularly with the CIA.... An unexpectedly good biography."
For balance, Shultz' autobiography should be read along with Robert M. Gates, From the Shadows: The Ultimate Insider's Story of Five Presidents and How They Won the Cold War (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1996).

Jonkers, AFIO WIN 47-02, 11 Dec. 2002, finds that the author "provides a detailed account" of the U.S. air raid against Libya and "an in-depth analysis of its causes and effects." Stanik also "describes three other hostile encounters between US and Libyan forces and recounts US covert operations in the 1980s. The book reads well and is a study in diplomacy, strategy, high-level policy and tactical operations."
