The book is hard bound in blue cloth covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine. The original dust jacket encloses the book. The book and dust jacket are both in like new condition.
A brief summary of the book's intent, as quoted from the dust jacket flap, reads "The realist school of thought has proven enormously influential in both the theory and practice of international relations. According to Michael Smith, realists 'say they accept and understand the world as it is' and treat all politics as a struggle for power – a struggle that is most acute in relations between states. In this important new study of realist thought, Smith examines the major figures of the realist school, analyzing their contributions along three axes: as general theories of international relations, as guides to making foreign policy, and as possible solutions to the ethical dilemmas of statecraft."
The illustrations accompanying this description show the front face of the dust jacket, the Title page, the table of Contents, and two (2) typical 2-page spreads of chapter beginnings.
