Query: The Worst of a Bad Lot

This is among the worst books I have had the bad fortune to encounter in over fifteen years in a field rife with desiccated nonsense. I recommend that colleagues avoid either wasting their own time on it or inflicting it on their students. The study of international relations is a humanity, and the attempt to turn it into a science necessarily drains it of all that is interesting or useful in human affairs. Rothgeb should go into dentistry.
