challenging informative

 Kind of amazing how much history is packed into this book. Hensman gives nuanced context on imperialism and military conflicts from Bosnia to Syria. Included is much needed criticism of sloppy and disingenuous pseudo “anti-imperialism”, although less than I was expecting. The book reads as more of a corrective history than a critique.

 For individuals new to politics or new to libertarianism, this is probably one of the better overviews/introductions you could read. However, there isn’t much new here if you already currently identify as a libertarian, and the book contains very little that would convince skeptics.
