world history & geopolitics

2019

1 Dear Reader:

I invite you to browse our classics as well as our new titles in world history and geopolitics.

Our catalogue features several magisterial histories: The Secret World, Christopher Andrew’s sweeping account of intelligence from Moses to the present day, which the Financial Times hailed as “a crowning triumph of one of the most adventurous scholars of the security world;” Royal Historical Society Fellow Andrew Lambert’s Seapower States: Maritime Culture, Continental Empires, and the Conflict That Made the Modern World; Yale historian Abbas Amanat’s Iran: A Modern History, “a majestic work that goes a long way in unraveling for an American audience the country’s enigmas and apparent contradictions,” according to the New York Review of Books; and Sudipta Sen’s Ganges: The Many Pasts of an Indian River, praised by MacArthur Genius Sunil Amrith as “stunningly original and beautifully crafted.”

Those interested in globalization and international relations may be drawn to eminent Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer’s The Great Delusion, and to the newly issued paperback editions of New America President and CEO Anne-Marie Slaughter’s The Chessboard and the Web, chosen by Foreign Affairs as one of the best books of the past year; Brookings Institution Fellow Thomas Wright’s All Measures Short of War, shortlisted for the Council on Foreign Relations’ Arthur Ross Award; and Stephen D. King’s Grave New World, praised by bestselling author Peter Frankopan as “prophetic, brilliant and disturbing.”

Please visit our website, yalepress.yale.edu, for a complete list of our titles, which are available in both print and e-book formats.

I would be happy to hear from you if you would like to pitch a book idea or submit a proposal or manuscript, too. Broad, synthetic histories intended for general readers interested in global history, geopolitics, and international relations and groundbreaking crossover and scholarly books in these fields are especially welcome.

With best wishes,
