Reviews

[Aleš Jánošík · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book worth of the name Encyclopedia. I read it long time ago as a regular book and just recently purchased the English version to keep it handy.
The people and political movements are described without personal prejudices or author(s) own beliefs.

[Banning Leonard · Rating 5 out of 5]

An exhaustive compilation of political philosophies including definitions and important figures in political theory. An essential reference for any political junkie.
