Summary: Applying "morality" to inter-state relations
Comment: This book describes why morality cannot be readily applied inter-state. The book is for readers seeking in-depth understanding of the practical political limitations of translating moral principles into foreign policy development(usually dominated by national interests). It nevertheless credibly establishes a method.
It requires previous or parallel efforts in understanding the core tenets of modern political science, i.e. not for lightweights. Pertinent to today's US-world relationships.

Rating: 3
Summary: Challenging Information that Demands Concentration
Comment: For individuals who have an interest in discussion material pertaining to global, ethical politics. This is not a Political Science 101 level book. It demands concentrated effort, but it is worth the effort. Mr. Hoffman's book provides ample material in revealing the detailed problems of dealing with geo-political, ethical issues in an increasingly smaller world.

Rating: 2
Summary: Dull, dull, dull
Comment: This book was adapted from a series of lectures, and I just *know* that had I been there for the lectures I would have fallen asleep, because the same thing occurred when I attempted to read this book. Good rule of thumb: only read this book if you'll be tested on it later.
