Examines the roots of the dichotomy in the twentieth century i.e. between traditional egotistical Realpolitik and the assertion that foreign policy should rest on a particular philosophy and set of values. Moves from Machiavellian tradition to social Darwinism, communism and imperialism, Hitler's aims and the nature of ideology during the cold war. Makes accessible a challenging and exciting subject.
