Claire Snyder-Hall, George Mason University The book gives a very clear and readable introduction to the whole history of political ideas. -- Hauke Brunkhorst Perspectives on Politics Vol 10, No 1 I would recommend his book for the serious reader of history who wants to have a comprehensive picture of political thought. -- Monica Greenwell Janzen Essays in Philosophy Vol 13, No 1
