Summary: Excellent Intro to World History and politics
Comment: An excellent introduction to recent world history and international relations. Bayliss and Smith tackle the key themes in contemporary international relations with skill and a questioning prose which encourages readers to develop their own viewpoint. I first read this as an Undergraduate in International Relations but it will be of interest to anyone with questions about recent world history, the current international order or even those who enjoy Tom Clancy novels!
