[ 5.0 stars ] "This book gives you the historical sense of politics throughout history, culminating in the last and finest chapter that is only understood from the history. The last chapter says all about where we are today even though this book was published in 1995. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "In Minogue's view, politics as we know it can only exist in a Christian nation, because without Christianity, we have only dictatorship, where politics is forbidden. "Christianity was in these elaborations revealed to be a religon moral challenge." It is this moral challenge that, in Minogue's view, makes modern conservative politics different from the politics of the Greeks and Romans, ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Otto von Bismarck once remarked that politics is "the art of the possible." This sentiment is meant to convey the idea that there is not much room for idealism in the everyday conduct of politics. Indeed, as "Politics: A Very Short Introduction" observes repeatedly, all attempts at organizing affairs of men along some highly idealized guiding principles invariably result in large-scale bloodshed. ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "Being new to the study of politics, I was looking for a quick, concise introduction to the subject. I found it in "Politics: A Very Short Introduction". It is well-written and expresses many of the foundational concepts in politics, drawing on the classics to support its main points. Although the writing is fairly complex (college-level), it is still manageable. I recommend this book to anyone loo ..." Courtesy by Amazon
