Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-01 00:00:00 Michael Cronin For those whose ideology must be self-aware. Polemic which does not sacrifice honesty.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-03 00:00:00 Stephen Heberlein Maybe if you took political science you would have a different perspective on this book. I can't brag about my academic grounding. I just find this book very useful. Taking a random page - there is a discussion of the Marxian concept of exploitation; a clarification of the term "extradtion;" and, lest I forget, a clarification of when "expansionism" came into parlance. You can find everything from Kant's political thoughts to the use of the term "kangaroo court." You will find a cogent and succinct discussions of political thoughts regarding church and state or "proportional representation." The book indicates there are about 1700 separate listings. That has been quite adequate for my needs.
