Lists of Bests: Stacey's "International Affairs books I've read" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/4555 Books related to international affairs, international politics, diplomacy and the like that I've read over the years. Most, but not all, were for class. Most, though not all, are worth reading - some are a bit dry for the casually curious reader, drop me a line if you'd like a reading recommendation.
