To take a skeptical approach to American history is not to dabble in imaginative conspiracy theories; rather, it's to reframe your understanding of this great nation's past and actually strengthen your appreciation for what makes American history such a fascinating chapter in the larger story of Western civilization. And in this bold 24-lecture series, you can do just that.

Historical so no characters were performed...
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No it is broken up into lectures so you can digest it slowly.

Story4 out of 5 stars 113
What would happen to international politics if the dead rose from the grave and started to eat the living? Daniel Drezner's groundbreaking book answers the question that other international relations scholars have been too scared to ask. Addressing timely issues with analytical bite, Drezner looks at how well-known theories from international relations might be applied to a war with zombies.

Would you try another book from Daniel W. Drezner and/or Oliver Wyman?
Possibly given the right subject matter.
What did you like best about this story?
The content and analisys is excelent.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Oliver Wyman?
Yes his narration was dry but given the writing style he did the best he could.
Could you see Theories of International Politics and Zombies being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Not that type of book.
Any additional comments?
Given that this started as a research paper and was never planned as a book it was well done. I wish the writer would have expanded the real world parrallels and given more detailed conclusions in the book.
