Russell in <a href="Journal_of_Cold_War_Studies" title="Journal of Cold War Studies">Journal of Cold War Studies</a> criticized the book, saying that "Boot did none of the critical research, and thus the inferences he draws from his uncritical rendition of history are essentially meaningless."<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> <a href="Benjamin_Schwarz_(writer)" title="Benjamin Schwarz (writer)">Benjamin Schwarz</a> argued in The New York Times that Boot asked the U.S. military to do a "nearly impossible task", and he criticized the book as "unrevealing".<a href="#cite_note-powell-23">[23]</a> <a href="Victor_Davis_Hanson" title="Victor Davis Hanson">Victor Davis Hanson</a> in <a href="History_News_Network" title="History News Network">History News Network</a> gave a positive review, saying that "Boot's well-written narrative is not only fascinating reading, but didactic as well".<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Robert M.

The <a href="World_Affairs_Councils_of_America" title="World Affairs Councils of America">World Affairs Councils of America</a> named Boot one of "the 500 most influential people in the United States in the field of foreign policy" in 2004.<a href="#cite_note-cfr-4">[4]</a> He also worked as member of the <a href="Project_for_the_New_American_Century" title="Project for the New American Century">Project for the New American Century</a> (PNAC) in 2004.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a>

Boot published the work War Made New, an analysis of revolutions in military technology since 1500, in 2006.<a href="#cite_note-cfr-4">[4]</a> The book's central thesis is that a military succeeds when it has the dynamic, forward-looking structures and administration in place to exploit new technologies. It concludes that the U.S. military may lose its edge if it does not become flatter, less bureaucratic, and more decentralized.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> The book received praise from <a href="Josiah_Bunting_III" title="Josiah Bunting III">Josiah Bunting III</a> in The New York Times, who called it "unusual and magisterial",<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> and criticism from Martin Sieff in <a href="The_American_Conservative" title="The American Conservative">The American Conservative</a>, who called it "remarkably superficial".<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>

Boot wrote for the CFR through 2010 and 2011 for publications such as Newsweek, <a href="The_Boston_Globe" title="The Boston Globe">The Boston Globe</a>, The New York Times and The Weekly Standard. He particularly argued that President <a href="Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a>'s <a href="Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act">health care plans</a> made maintaining U.S. superpower status harder, that withdrawal of U.S. troops from <a href="Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> occurred prematurely while making another war there more likely, and that the initial U.S. victory in <a href="Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a> had been undone by government complacency though forces could still pull off a victory. He also wrote op-eds criticizing planned <a href="Austerity" title="Austerity">budget austerity measures</a> in both the U.S. and the U.K. as hurting their national security interests.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a>

In September 2012, Boot co-wrote with <a href="Brookings_Institution" title="Brookings Institution">Brookings Institution</a> senior fellow Michael Doran a New York Times op-ed titled "5 Reasons to Intervene in Syria Now", advocating U.S. military force to create a countrywide <a href="No-fly_zone" title="No-fly zone">no-fly zone</a> reminiscent of <a href="NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a>'s role in the <a href="Kosovo_War" title="Kosovo War">Kosovo War</a>. He stated first and second that "American intervention would diminish Iran's influence in the Arab world" and that "a more muscular American policy could keep the conflict from spreading" with "sectarian strife in Lebanon and Iraq". Third, Boot argued that "training and equipping reliable partners within <a href="Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a>'s internal opposition" could help "create a bulwark against extremist groups like Al Qaeda". He concluded that "American leadership on Syria could improve relations with key allies like Turkey and Qatar" as well as "end a terrible human-rights disaster".<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a>

Another well received book by Boot, titled Invisible Armies (2013), is about the history of <a href="Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerrilla warfare</a>, analyzing various cases of successful and unsuccessful insurgent efforts such as the fighting during the <a href="American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American war of independence</a>, the <a href="Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>, and the current <a href="Syrian_Civil_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Syrian Civil War">Syrian Civil War</a>. He states that traditional, <a href="Conventional_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Conventional war">conventional army</a> tactics as employed by the American military under the administrations of <a href="George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">President Bush</a> and <a href="Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">President Obama</a> against guerrilla organizations have produced strategic failures. Boot has discussed his book in various programs such as the <a href="Hoover_Institution" title="Hoover Institution">Hoover Institution</a>'s <a href="Uncommon_Knowledge" title="Uncommon Knowledge">Uncommon Knowledge</a> series, appearing on it in January 2014.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a>

Boot considers himself to be a "natural <a href="Contrarian" title="Contrarian">contrarian</a>".<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> He identifies as a <a href="Conservatism_in_the_United_States" title="Conservatism in the United States">conservative</a>, once joking that "I grew up in the 1980s, when conservatism was cool".<a href="#cite_note-heck-44">[44]</a> He is in favor of <a href="Limited_government" title="Limited government">limited government</a> at home and American leadership abroad,<a href="#cite_note-LAT-45">[45]</a> believing America should be "the <a href="Pax_Americana" title="Pax Americana">world's policeman</a>".<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a>

Boot was one of the earliest proponents of the <a href="Iraq_War" title="Iraq War">US invasion and occupation of Iraq</a>.<a href="#cite_note-weeklystandard-iraq-47">[47]</a> In October 2001, in an article titled "The Case for American Empire", he proposed that the United States must greatly increase its military engagement against other countries and compared his proposal to <a href="War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)" class="mw-redirect" title="War in Afghanistan (2001–present)">invade Afghanistan</a> and <a href="Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> with the American role in defeating <a href="Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>.

Boot is a strong supporter of <a href="Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a> and opposed the dismantling of <a href="Israeli_settlement" title="Israeli settlement">Israeli settlements</a> in the occupied <a href="West_Bank" title="West Bank">West Bank</a>.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-boot-atlantic-50">[50]</a> He wrote in 2008 that "the reason Israelis aren't dismantling the settlements (and that <a href="George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">President Bush</a> isn't pressing them to do so) has nothing to do with the views of American Jewish groups and everything to do with the dismal record of recent Israeli concessions in southern Lebanon and the <a href="Gaza_Strip" title="Gaza Strip">Gaza Strip</a>. In both cases (as well as at the <a href="Camp_David" title="Camp David">Camp David</a> negotiations in 2000) Israelis thought that territorial concessions would lead to peace. Instead they led to the empowerment of terrorists."<a href="#cite_note-boot-atlantic-50">[50]</a> In 2017 Boot supported President Trump's controversial decision to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem: "he got this one right. My only complaint is that this move is more symbolic than substantive".<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> In January 2024, he criticized South Africa's <a href="South_Africa_v._Israel_(Genocide_Convention)" class="mw-redirect" title="South Africa v. Israel (Genocide Convention)">ICJ genocide case against Israel</a>.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a>

In 2015 and 2016, Boot was a campaign advisor to <a href="Marco_Rubio" title="Marco Rubio">Marco Rubio</a> for the <a href="2016_United_States_presidential_election" title="2016 United States presidential election">2016 United States presidential primaries</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> and strongly opposed <a href="Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign%2C_2016" class="mw-redirect" title="Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016">Trump's 2016 presidential candidacy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-LAT-45">[45]</a> Boot said in March 2016 that he would "sooner vote for <a href="Josef_Stalin" class="mw-redirect" title="Josef Stalin">Josef Stalin</a> than he would vote for <a href="Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a>".<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> In August 2016, after Trump won the presidential nomination, he became highly critical of the <a href="Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican Party</a><a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> and endorsed <a href="Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a> candidate <a href="Hillary_Clinton" title="Hillary Clinton">Hillary Clinton</a> in the <a href="2016_U.S._presidential_election" class="mw-redirect" title="2016 U.S. presidential election">2016 U.S. presidential election</a>.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> Boot was critical of the nomination of <a href="Rex_Tillerson" title="Rex Tillerson">Rex Tillerson</a> to the position of <a href="United_States_Secretary_of_State" title="United States Secretary of State">Secretary of State</a>, believing him to be problematically pro-Russian, and subsequently called on Tillerson to resign.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a>

In an opinion piece for <a href="Foreign_Policy" title="Foreign Policy">Foreign Policy</a> in September 2017, Boot outlined his political views as follows: "I am <a href="Socially_liberal" class="mw-redirect" title="Socially liberal">socially liberal</a>: I am pro-<a href="Gay_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Gay rights">LGBTQ rights</a>, <a href="Pro-abortion" class="mw-redirect" title="Pro-abortion">pro-abortion</a> rights, pro-immigration. I am <a href="Fiscally_conservative" class="mw-redirect" title="Fiscally conservative">fiscally conservative</a>: I think we need to reduce the <a href="Deficit_spending" title="Deficit spending">deficit</a> and get <a href="Entitlement_spending" class="mw-redirect" title="Entitlement spending">entitlement spending</a> under control. I am <a href="Environmentalism" title="Environmentalism">pro-environment</a>: I think that <a href="Climate_change" title="Climate change">climate change</a> is a major threat that we need to address. I am pro-<a href="Free_trade" title="Free trade">free trade</a>: I think we should be concluding new trade treaties rather than pulling out of old ones. I am strong on defense: I think we need to beef up our military to cope with multiple enemies. And I am very much in favor of America acting as a world leader: I believe it is in our own self-interest to promote and defend freedom and <a href="Free_market" title="Free market">free markets</a> as we have been doing in one form or another since at least 1898."<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a>

In December 2017, also in Foreign Policy, Boot wrote that recent events—particularly since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president—had caused him to rethink some of his previous views concerning the existence of <a href="White_privilege" title="White privilege">white privilege</a> and <a href="Male_privilege" title="Male privilege">male privilege</a>. "In the last few years, in particular, it has become impossible for me to deny the reality of discrimination, harassment, even violence that <a href="People_of_color" class="mw-redirect" title="People of color">people of color</a> and women continue to experience in modern-day America from a power structure that remains for the most part in the hands of straight, white males. People like me, in other words. Whether I realize it or not, I have benefited from my skin color and my gender—and those of a different gender or sexuality or skin color have suffered because of it."<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a>

Boot is a member of the advisory board of <a href="Renew_Democracy_Initiative" title="Renew Democracy Initiative">Renew Democracy Initiative</a>, a non-partisan organization founded in 2017.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a>

In March 2019, Boot proposed to retire the <a href="Neoconservative" class="mw-redirect" title="Neoconservative">neoconservative</a> label, saying that the term "neocon thinking" is falsely associated with the advocacy of the United States invasion and occupation of Iraq:<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a>

<blockquote>The misuse of the "neocon" label reached an absurd extreme in a Post op-ed by Rep. <a href="Ro_Khanna" title="Ro Khanna">Ro Khanna</a> (D-Calif.), [who wrote:] "I have been consistent of talking about the neocon thinking that led to the Iraq blunder and what followed." That actually isn't much of an improvement, because Khanna is repeating the canard that neocons were responsible for the Iraq War.</blockquote>

Boot is a proponent of <a href="Perpetual_war" title="Perpetual war">perpetual deployment</a>:<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a>

<blockquote> We need to think of these deployments [in Afghanistan and Syria] in much the same way we thought of our <a href="Indian_Wars" class="mw-redirect" title="Indian Wars">Indian Wars</a>, which lasted roughly 300 years (ca. 1600-1890), or as the British thought about their deployment on the <a href="Military_history_of_the_North-West_Frontier" title="Military history of the North-West Frontier">North West Frontier</a> (today's <a href="Pakistan-Afghanistan_border" class="mw-redirect" title="Pakistan-Afghanistan border">Pakistan-Afghanistan border</a>), which lasted 100 years (1840s-1940s). U.S. troops are not undertaking a conventional combat assignment. They are policing the frontiers of the <a href="Pax_Americana" title="Pax Americana">Pax Americana</a>.</blockquote>

In 2018 he argued for the United States to help the <a href="Syrian_Democratic_Forces" title="Syrian Democratic Forces">Syrian Democratic Forces</a> establish an 'autonomous zone' in Syria as "this would protect at least a portion of Syrian territory from Russian and Iranian domination and give the United States a strong say in that country's future.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a>

Boot has suggested that if conservative television news channels—<a href="Fox_News_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox News Channel">Fox News Channel</a>, <a href="One_America_News" class="mw-redirect" title="One America News">One America News</a> and <a href="Newsmax" title="Newsmax">Newsmax</a>—do not "stop propagating lies", "large <a href="Cable_companies" class="mw-redirect" title="Cable companies">cable companies</a> such as <a href="Comcast" title="Comcast">Comcast</a> and <a href="Spectrum_(TV_service)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spectrum (TV service)">Charter Spectrum</a> need to step in" and "boot" them off, dealing with them "just as we do with foreign <a href="Terrorist_group" class="mw-redirect" title="Terrorist group">terrorist groups</a>".<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a>

<a href="Mark_Ames" title="Mark Ames">Mark Ames</a> of <a href="The_Nation" title="The Nation">The Nation</a>,<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> Adam Johnson of <a href="Fairness_and_Accuracy_in_Reporting" class="mw-redirect" title="Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting">Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting</a>,<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> <a href="Tucker_Carlson" title="Tucker Carlson">Tucker Carlson</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> and <a href="Glenn_Greenwald" title="Glenn Greenwald">Glenn Greenwald</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> have denounced Boot as a "warmonger".

When <a href="Elon_Musk" title="Elon Musk">Elon Musk</a> proposed to <a href="Acquisition_of_Twitter_by_Elon_Musk" title="Acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk">acquire Twitter</a>, Boot said that he was "frightened by the impact on society and politics" and asserted that "[f]or democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less."<a href="#cite_note-BootFear-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-BootMuskLast-73">[73]</a>
