Man, the State and War Kenneth N. Waltz
Publisher: Columbia University Press

One might think its strange to do a book review on a work published over 40 years ago, but too bad, I just finished Kenneth Waltz's 'Man, the State, and War' two days ago, so deal with it! His Columbia University doctoral dissertation was published in 1959 as Man, the State, and War. His most famous work is Man, the State, and War.) And who is your favorite social scientist?

The United States declared war one day later. Waltz's “one big thing” was to view international politics in terms of structure, whether defined as the anarchy of the international system (in Man, the State and War) or its polarity (in Theory of International Relations).

Similarly, Kenneth Waltz taught political theory and his PhD (which became the book, Man the State and War) focused on the rich teachings of the greatest political philosophers.
