"Marc Trachtenberg has written a comprehensive, how-to manual for doing international history. There is nothing available like it."--Steven Van Evera, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"This is an important book, without question. It provides an extremely useful guide for graduate and undergraduate students who want to know more about thinking about international politics and conducting and presenting research. There is nothing in print that speaks as clearly and persuasively to students."--William Stueck, University of Georgia, author of The Korean War: An international History (Princeton)
