Books
Legro's first book, 1995's Cooperation Under Fire: Anglo-German Restraint in World War II, examined why the combatants during World War II did or did not escalate in the use of previously "unthinkable" methods such as submarine warfare, civilian bombing, and chemical weapons, all of which were constrained by international agreements signed before the war.{{cite journal |last1= Schrodt |first1=Philip A. |date=April 1996 |title=Review: Major Power Cooperation Amid Conflict |url= https://www.jstor.org/stable/222647 |journal=Mershon International Studies Review |volume=40 |issue=1 |pages=112–115 |doi= 10.2307/222647|jstor=222647 |access-date=2024-04-01|url-access=subscription }}
His 2005 book Rethinking the World: Great Power Strategies and International Order analyzed several instances in history when nations fundamentally changed their foreign policy and their approach to international order, such as Tokugawa's opening to foreign trade, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the massive realignments before and after World Wars I and II.{{cite journal |last1=Ikenberry |first1=G.
