Review:
A comprehensive review of the literature on international relations, covering the field from ancient to modern times. Placing that literature in context makes this a valuable asset in analyzing contemporary events. Clear, accessible, and mercifully jargon free. --Erik Goldstein, Professor of International Relations and History, Boston University, USA
If this excellent work does not rapidly become required reading for all final year and graduate students of International Relations (IR) I will be very surprised. Indeed few, if any, IR professors would fail to benefit from it. Written by a distinguished American historian of Britain, it seeks to interrogate the relationship between history and IR and in the process provides an account of the evolution of the IR discipline that is one of the fullest, most thoughtful and wide ranging I have read. In clear, informative prose that engages the reader throughout it offers what is essentially an ongoing dialogue between history and IR, not the least of whose merits is to provide an authoritative account of the key developments that have shaped the structure and dynamics of world politics since ancient times. --David Armstrong, Emeritus Professor, University of Exeter, UK
