Well worth study and reflection both as a fresh interpretation of the ^RPolitics^I and as a critical assessment of contemporary scholarship on Aristotle and modern political theory.

All of us who teach the ^RPolitics^I, no matter how many or how few times we have done it before, will teach the books better and with more pleasure having read Nichols. ^RCitizens and Statesmen^I is a marvel of close reading combined with clarity and consummate accessibility.

American Political Science Review

A clear, thoughtful, and serious treatment of one of the truly fundamental texts of political philosophy.dddddd

By far the best book-length study of the ^RPolitics^I available in English.

Stephen Salkever, Bryn Mawr College

...remarkably successful at showing how Aristotle's thought sheds light on contemporary concerns without distorting either.

Delba Winthrop, Harvard University

...excellent... It is the rare combination of responsibility to detail and broad comprehension that makes the book such a delight. ...of great value.
