Hobbes' writing surprises, shocks, amuses and above all, stimulates criticism both of himself and of our conventional wisdom. This book is both expository and critical and concentres on Hobbes' ethical and political theory, but also considering the effect on these of his metaphysics.
Updated, with a new preface on recent Hobbes scholarship written especially for this re-issue, a particular useful feature of this book is the new, critical bibliography.
Available on its own, or as part of the 9-volume reissue of the classic Political Thinkers series.

Hobbes
Unreasonable amounts of typos and technical errors mar an otherwise decent collection of introductions and original analysis of four of the most influential political philosophers in history.
Machiavelli by Quentin Skinner:
A fresh look at Machiavelli with some enlightening information on his background and life. Any scholar short of a Machiavelli specialist will find this a sufficient introduction to the arguable founder of political science.
Hobbes by Richard Tuck:
An overall decent examination of the life and theory of Thomas Hobbes and how his theories interacted with European philosophy and science at the time. Interesting and thought-provoking.
Mills by William Thomas:
Slightly confusing at times but gets better nearer the end where the author expands on Mills theories and legacy.
Marx by Peter Singer
A good expose on Marxist thinking, but by no means the best. The biography was interesting but Singer's explanations of Marx's thinking is not that innovative and clearer and better texts exist.
Overall, a solid book that political philosophy scholars will find valuable.
