Harvard's Extraordinary Business
School Class of 1949 and
How They Transformed American Business.
(John Wiley/Forbes, 2002)
"In Kindred Spirits, David Callahan gives us an intriguing, incredibly detailed look at the values, worth ethic and creatives minds that characterized this group of businessmen, the '49ers.'"
- USA Today
"David Callahan has written a compelling and timely history of a special cast of characters from business past. Their stories are a valuable reminder that success and sound personal values don’t have to be mutually exclusive in the world of business."

- Daniel Gross, Slate

UNWINNABLE WARS:
American Power and Ethnic Conflict
(Hill and Wang/Farrar Strauss, 1998)
“A superb analysis. . . . Callahan takes the reader through a sober, reasoned and extremely well-articulated survey of the key questions surrounding U.S. interests and policies on ethnic conflict.”
- Shashi Tharoor, Washington Post Book World
“An intelligent, sober, nonmoralistic argument…. A skillful explanation of the explosion of conflicts within the last 30 years arising from religious, cultural, linguistic, and territorial differences – and of the policies the US can pursue to defuse these tinderboxes.”
- Kirkus Review
“Callahan. . . provides an excellent introduction to the complexities of predicting, preventing and resolving ethnic conflicts.”
- Michael Clough, New York Times Book Review
DANGEROUS CAPABILITIES:
Paul Nitze and the Cold War
(HarperCollins, 1990)
"
An immensely readable account of a critical figure in the history of American foreign policy over the past 40 years."
- Joseph S. Nye, Jr., New York Times Book Review
"Dangerous
Capabilities is not only the best book on Nitze, it is also
one of the most searching and accessible accounts of American
Cold War planning...The strength of Callahan's book is in its
critical stance. He gives Nitze his due as a virtuoso
bureaucrat, but confronts him at each stage of his career with
the hard questions of his numerous critics."
- Larry Tool, San Francisco Chronicle
"Judged by even the most rigorous standards, Callahan has produced a remarkable book. In Dangerous Capabilities, he has given us a sweeping, authoritative, and readable history of the men, the ideas, and politics which formed American national security policy for the last fifty years."
- Lawrence Korb, Naval War
College Review
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: Realism, Idealism, and American
Foreign Policy After the Cold War
(HarperCollins, 1994)
"Readers will find much to think about and much to quarrel with in Between Two Worlds, David Callahan's call to abandon what he sees as the pragmatism of the cold war era in favor of a new, more idealistic foreign policy."
- Joseph Gregory, The New York Times Book Review
As David Callahan defines the issues in his book Between Two Worlds, the argument is between those who would pretty much maintain the U.S. global outlook of the last half-century, with its emphasis on national strength to promote international stability, and those who call for "more ambitious U.S. initiatives for promoting democracy, sustainable development and collective security."
- Los Angeles Times
STATE OF THE UNION
(Little, Brown and Co., 1997)
"A plot with the heart-pumping pace that action lovers savor."
- Booklist
"Chillingly believable. Extraordinary."
- Naples Daily News
"If you like Tom Clancy's books, pick up Callahan's fascinating political twister."
- San Francisco Examiner
