Reviews

There are too many thought-provoking ideas in this book to cover comprehensively in a short review... fascinating... powerful...
*American Political Science Review*

A welcome addition to the international relations literature . . . an insightful commentary on international history and theory.
*The Journal of Politics*

An extremely worthwhile book.
*International Journal*

Liska's importance to the articulation of political realism is frequently underestimated and deserves much greater attention in the literature.
*International Affairs*
