This well-worn copy of “Foundations of National Power” by Harold Sprout is a significant artifact from the post-World War II era. Published in 1945, as the world was emerging from the devastation of global conflict, this book offered a timely examination of the factors that contribute to a nation’s strength and influence on the international stage. Sprout, a renowned political scientist and international relations scholar, drew upon his extensive research and expertise to analyze the economic, military, and geopolitical elements that shape a country’s power dynamics. This volume would have been an essential read for policymakers, diplomats, and academics seeking to understand the shifting global landscape and the realignment of power structures in the wake of the war. Despite its age and visible signs of use, this copy remains a valuable resource for collectors interested in mid-20th century political thought and the intellectual discourse surrounding the post-war world order.
