Inspired last year by Michael Cameron post, and requested by many, including Daniel Durak; here is my 2023 completed book list.  Ranging from personal memoirs, to biographies, historical and or geopolitical topics; the years worth of reading stopped at 44 books, but I'm looking forward to topping that in 2024.

Often, academicians and scholars of international relations are propelled by questions such as “How do states think? Are they rational all the time? How do policy makers take decisions in a crisis? What is rationality in foreign policy, and how is it associated with the final outcome of policy?” In a well-crafted manner John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato attempt to answer those questions through their new book, “How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy.” They argue that “states are rational if their policies are based on credible theories and result from a deliberative decision-making process,” which means rationality is somewhat alien to the outcome of the policy decision. #Rationality is not an end but a means to an end, where the end is the ultimate survival of the state.
