"A lively and erudite exploration of the history of political
ideas, providing a lucid narrative of the history of political
concepts and quandaries from Greece to today."
International Affairs
"Bruce Haddock has produced a book that is as profound as it is
comprehensive and thought-provoking. He takes us from the
pre-history of political thought to today's global politics, and
does so with scholarly authority, clarity and elegance. This will
undoubtedly become one of the standard works of reference in the
history of political thought."
Jeremy Jennings, University of London
"Offers an admirably accessible and succinct survey of the main
contours of Western political thought, from the ancient Greek
city-state to today's global village."
Terence Ball, Arizona State University
"Bruce Haddock tells the story of the history of Western
political thought from its beginnings to the present in all its
rich diversity in a wonderfully engaging and intelligent manner. He
combines enormous erudition with an accessible style and wise
judgement, to show how the best political thinking has always been
a response to hard choices, provoked by particular historical
circumstances, while also transcending those circumstances. The
book will be an illuminating and provoking read whether this is
one's first introduction to the subject or even if you think you
know it all already."
John Horton, Keele University
