Power And The Pursuit Of Peace

Power and the Pursuit of Peace (1988) by F.H. Hinsley – Crappy Old Books

Dust off your diplomacy skills and dive into Power and the Pursuit of Peace, F.H. Hinsley’s heavyweight study of international relations and the ever-elusive quest for lasting peace. First published in 1988 by Cambridge University Press, this classic dissects the philosophical and political foundations of peace efforts from the 17th century through to the 20th.

Hinsley, a formidable scholar of war and peace, draws connections between the realpolitik of sovereign states and the idealism of international theorists. Expect Hobbes, Kant, and the League of Nations all rubbing shoulders in a dense but rewarding analysis that still rings true in today’s turbulent world.

This copy comes to you via Crappy Old Books—so don’t expect mint condition, but do expect character, charm, and just maybe a few mysterious margin notes. Scholarly, scuffed, and surprisingly relevant.

Godd solid copy with barely any creasing of the spine, just one faint crease.
