Paul Kennedy writes large-scale history about war, economics, empire and the changing balance among major powers. The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers traces European and global power from the early modern period into the twentieth century, arguing that military strength ultimately depends on economic resources and that overextension can weaken dominant states. Engineers of Victory examines practical problem-solving during the Second World War, including anti-submarine warfare, strategic bombing and amphibious operations. The Parliament of Man turns to the history of the United Nations and the ambitions and limits of international institutions. Kennedy's books are broad, evidence-rich and comparative rather than narrowly biographical. They fit diplomatic history, military history and international relations, particularly for readers interested in how economic capacity shapes long-term strategic power. Read more Less
