Connections between chapters are hard to see. Clippinger moves from a chapter that's half about Clausewitz's influence on cutting-edge Pentagon theories of warfare and half about Adam Smith's theories of natural human sympathies to one about how neuroscience illuminates our understanding of the social functions of language. He doesn't hold the reader's hand as he skips from insight to speculation to historical example.

Sounds like a book cobbled together from articles . . .
