The reviewer concludes that the United States has become incredibly unpopular throughout the world. He longs for the good old days when "internationally admired" presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy were in power (good Democratic Party stalwarts, you see). Of course, this completely ignores the fact that Roosevelt's popularity was not all that high with Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini, nor Kennedy's with Khrushchev and Mao, just as Bush is contemporaneously unloved by Osama bin Laden and his ilk.
While Restless Giant may be an objective history, Kennedy has used this platform to proselytize the "low culture" masses with his liberal worldview. Fortunately for him, his thesis is conveniently labeled by Book World as a "review."
