Reviews

"Altini has artfully crafted an intellectual biography that avoids reducing its subject to a mere historical context … Highly recommended." — CHOICE

"This exciting read is the most comprehensive intellectual biography of Strauss of which I am aware, covering both his early and mature work. It tells a fascinating story from a novel perspective, based on a vast range of sources in various languages, including archival ones." — Rodrigo Chacón, Professor of International Relations, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México
