    Introduction to International Relations - Jackson, R and Sorensen, G

    A History of Modern Political Thought, Major Political Thinkers from Hobbes to Marx - Hampsher-Monk, I

    both were very good introductory books for me when i began studying politics.

    Thanks :)

    What he said.

    Also, pick up a copy of "No Logo" by Naomi Klein.

    Might be worth looking at "The Prince" by Machiavelli too...

    Damn, dude but there are so many books you could read. Autobiographies of Tony Benn, Thatcher and other historical figures...
