Why read it?
1 author picked The Tragedy of Great Power Politics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a must-read for anyone who strives to understand power politics and geopolitics more accurately.

It will make you question accepted assumptions as well as gain clarity when it comes to classifying day-to-day politics.

From Claas' list on refine your ethical leadership.
