History according to E.H. Carr

I analyzed Carr's 'Twenty Years Crisis' in my doctoral thesis on realist theory in international relations. In addition to 'What is History?' this is a great read, with the underlying idea that you can't assume that things change just because we want them to change, or even because a lot of people agree that they have. While he was focused on foreign affairs in Europe, the same likely holds true for domestic politics, too.
