Reviews

[Seetal Neelon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Its just a collection of essays and speeches, exactly what you want but stuff you could search up yourself

[patrick o'hara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must for any political science enthusiast or just someone who wants to understand the mechanics of how a particular person thinks. It's a collection of writings consisting of everyone from Hitler to Tocqueville, with a short introduction about their psyche and particular personal ideology.
