Readers of Professor Parkinson's popular and witty Parkinson's Law suspected that underneath the satirist there was a sound and serious scholar. It is in this latter role that he wrote The Evolution of Political Thought, which might be called "Parkinson's Laws": a re-evaluation of that matrix of Western history which is our political tradition. To the subject he brings an original mind, a fund of information, and a wide experience of life. His years spent in the East, as Raffles Professor of History at the University of Malaya, add perspective to his views. He has achieved in this book a profound, provocative, and fascinating study of the development of political theory.
